“We’re passionate about uniting sustainable designers and increasingly conscious consumers in our efforts to reduce fashion’s waste, whilst celebrating the power of fashion to be an agent of change,” Christina Dean, CEO of the R Collective and founder of the Hong Kong-based sustainable-fashion nonprofit Redress, said in a statement.
To promote the collaboration, the R Collective enlisted fashion influencer Susie Lau, singer and actress Mint Pattarasaya and stylist Justine Lee to highlight how creativity and a few supply-chain tweaks can curtail textile waste. More than 340 metric tons of textiles are dumped every day in Hong Kong’s landfills alone, according to the city’s Environmental Protection Department.
