Redress Design Award 2024 with Tommy Hilfiger

Dr. Christina Dean and I go way back. I got to meet the fabulous and inspiring Christina when I first learned about the brand The R Collective and wrote blogs and modelled for them. Christina Dean is a sustainable fashion advocate who Founded NGO Redress, with its mission to accelerate circularity in the fashion industry, in 2007, she founded The R Collective, the award-winning social impact business rescuing, reusing and recycling fashion's waste since 2017

I met Christina again recently, because of the completion of The R Collective after 7 fruitful years-rescuing 267,000 yards of textiles and 15,000 square feet of leather waste for reuse and recycling. But as "Circularity" is what happens in fashion styles and the topic of the panel of the launch of the Redress Design Award 2024 event "Why Circularity? Why Asia?", it is all in flow and serendipity that not only did this event brought me to meet with Christina in person again, this Redress Design Award 2024 is partnering with new exclusive fashion partner Tommy Hilfiger, whom I have been working with the past year. Goosebumps!

It was a night of so much joy-to meet with old friends, new partners, colleagues, celebrities, fashion heavy weights, sustainable pioneers and warriors, business mavericks, avant-garde fashion designers, top models, it was everything I am thrilled to be a part of. It was a night of openness and appreciation for everything fashion, inspirations, relationships, creative expressions and more. Hong Kong and Asia is definitely an important place for fashion, equivalent to all the fashion capitals in the world, and I am super proud to be working here in this industry.
