Fashion The Future Design Competition

Sustainability is becoming a more and more important issue for improving the future of our planet. From the production of raw materials through the product life cycle to the disposal of used fabrics, garment production, one of the human’s basic necessities, posts great impact on the environment.

It’s time for us to rethink what we can do to pursue a more sustainable development for fashion industry. However, a greener fashion industry does not mean to scarify our creativity. Exploring a way to satisfy both fashionable style and environmental friendliness is the new trend for the industry.

Leveraging the impressive milestone of its 65^th anniversary, Miramar Group, one of the most stylish lifestyle brand in Hong Kong, takes the lead to show its advocacy to the sustainable development and environmental protection, and launch a brand-new platform, Mi Go Green, to promote “Stylish Living with a Green Touch”.

To activate the campaign, the Group joins hands with School of Fashion and Textiles (SFT), AiDLab and Redress to co-presents the Fashion The Future Design Competition. Current students and eligible alumni of SFT are invited to transform textile waste into unique piece of upcycled clothing through creativity. Through the design and creating process, the competition allows the participants to acknowledge the importance of sustainability, in the hopes of inspiring them to include eco-friendly elements in their future design.
