Congratulations to the winners of our 2024 Student Upcycling Challenge!
In first place we celebrate Hyunwoo Jung @hdubs.hh, in second place, @owencutler, and in third place, @eric.dalby.
These three unique submissions demonstrate exceptional technical skills and made use of numerous types of source materials ranging from bed sheets to blazers to shopping bags. The ingenuity of these works bodes well for the future of our industry, where the reuse and reimagination of existing materials must replace the use of virgin fibres. Congratulations to all our participants!
A special thank you to our esteemed judges, and our partners Value Village and FASHION Magazine for supporting students and circularity.
In 2024 join the pledge to buy #NoMorePolyester! It’s a tough challenge – polyester is everywhere – but the era of plastic clothing needs to end and together we can help reduce polyester consumption and production.
By signing up for the challenge you’ll be joining a Canada-wide campaign standing against fossil fuel fashion.
Why #NoMorePolyester?
Phasing out all fossil fuels and transitioning to renewable energy sources is essential to limit global heating to 1.5°C. And as the world’s 4th largest producer of crude oil and 11th largest emitter of greenhouse gases per capita, Canada has a major role to play.
The #NoMorePolyester campaign aims to inform consumer citizens about the connection between crude oil and our closets: a now ubiquitous group of synthetic fabrics that includes polyester. Individually and collectively we must take action to end the exorbitant production and consumption of fossil fuels for fashion.
