Retail in Asia, Sept 2023

Originally from the United Kingdom, Christina Dean pursued careers as both a journalist and a dentist before making her way to Hong Kong in the mid-2000s. She established Redress, a nonprofit organisation focused on sustainable fashion, in 2007. And in the 16 years since, Redress has made significant strides in the industry: the organisation successfully launched a secondhand fashion store supplied by its city-wide clothing take-back programmes, initiated the Redress Design Award, and introduced the R Collective, a fashion brand dedicated to upcycling with textile waste.
