Based in Hong Kong, Redress is an Asia-focused environmental NGO with a mission to accelerate the transition to a circular fashion industry by educating and empowering designers and consumers to reduce the negative environmental impacts of clothing. In response to fashion's unsustainable linear model of “take, make, use and waste”, Redress advocates for a circular economy that takes responsibility for the entire life cycle of a product and its impact on the planet.
Source Fashion has teamed up with Redress as lead runway partner for its January 13-15, 2026 edition at Olympia London. The collaboration will showcase 2-3 Redress Design Award alumni, highlighting circular and sustainable fashion. The catwalks, which will take place three times a day, will promote responsible design, aligning the missions of both organizations to drive creativity, sustainability and change in the fashion industry.
At the heart of their work is the Redress Design Award, the world's leading sustainable fashion design competition, which has created a global network of over 300 emerging designers who are pioneering circular and waste reduction practices. This makes Redress an ideal partner for Source Fashion as both organizations share a commitment to innovation, education and driving real-world change in the fashion industry. Together, they are training the next generation of designers to reshape the future of fashion through creativity and responsibility.
For January 2026 Source Fashion, Redress will select two to three Redress Design Award alumni to lead the runway. Its curated display will highlight innovation, circular design thinking and a strong commitment to reducing environmental impact. The dynamic catwalk will be presented three times a day and will offer a visual narrative of how responsible design and creative excellence can join forces to redefine the future of fashion.
“This partnership with Redress marks an exciting next chapter for the Source Fashion runway,” says Suzanne Ellingham, Director of Source Fashion. “Redress has been instrumental in nurturing some of the most progressive designers working in sustainability today. Their students are proof that creativity and responsibility are not opposing forces, they are the foundation of the future of fashion. By bringing their work to our stage, we are giving buyers and brands an idea of what truly circular design can look like in practice.”
Christina Dean, founder of Redress“Our partnership with Source Fashion creates the perfect stage to demonstrate that sustainable fashion is not just a passing trend, it is the future. By putting our Redress Design Award alumni in the spotlight, we are showing that circular design can be innovative, beautiful and commercially viable. This partnership is about inspiring the industry and showing that responsibility and creativity go hand in hand.”
As Fashion Source continues to champion transparency and innovation across the global supply chain, this partnership underscores the show's commitment to connecting purpose-driven designers, manufacturers and retailers and reinforces its position as the go-to event for buyers, sourcing professionals and retailers committed to positive change.
The Source Fashion Catwalk will take place three times a day and showcase responsibly produced collections, on-trend designs and cutting-edge innovation. Each exhibition will present a compelling story about sustainability in practice, inspiring shoppers with practical ideas they can implement directly from the exhibition.
