Environmental NGO Redress has entered into a partnership with VF Corp and its Timberland brand, known worldwide for its sustainable design, for the Redress Design Award first prize. This is the third cycle of collaboration. The first prize winner of the Redress Design Award 2021 will join VF Corporation’s Timberland team to collaborate on a design project.
The award is organised by environmental NGO Redress with Create Hong Kong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the lead sponsor.
The Timberland prize partnership forms part of a wider long-term strategic relationship between the Redress Design Award and VF. This is the third cycle of collaboration working to drive meaningful change among the future leaders of fashion through education, which forms the backbone of the programme, with over 50,000 individuals worldwide having benefitted from educational content and activities throughout the competition’s history.
The partnership will also include a design challenge for all ten finalists later this year plus collaboration on key content around circular design in action for the Redress Design Award 2021 open access LEARN platform.
