October 2024

On the 25th of September, we held our second Circular Design Awards. It was an incredible night! The event celebrated the outstanding creativity and innovation of the finalists and Award Winners. On show were some of the many varied ways clothes can be designed for the circular economy.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, there were over 150 of you!

It was also a chance for industry leaders in both fashion and sustainability to get together around the shared goal of a circular economy in New Zealand and talk about fashions journey on this path.

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners for entering the Mindful Fashion Circular Design Awards 2024. The judges commented that overall the calibre of entries was extremely high this year.

What particularly resonated was how entrants looked to their local areas to solve a waste problem and treated the materials not as a limitation but as a starting point for innovation.

A sincere thank you to our Awards and Gala event partners who have been incredible in supporting the Award programme and gala event. And a special thanks to our Judges, a prestigious lineup of industry, design and innovation specialists who selected the finalists and winners!
