Christopher Koerber , Managing Director of HUGO BOSS Ticino, commented:
Rosie Wollacott Phillips, Mulberry's Group Sustainability Manager, which produced its first 100% sustainable leather handbag in 2019 and has committed to developing the world's lowest carbon leather, added:
Steven Sothmann , judging panel chair, highlighted the waste the fashion industry creates, not just with disposable fast fashion but in its material choice:
Competition entrants will be challenged to design an item of clothing, footwear or accessory using 50% or more leather. Shortlisted finalists win an all-expenses paid trip to London , during Fashion Week in September, to present their design concept in a live final. As part of their prize the global finalists will have their design professionally made to present to the judges.
The competition is now live, with entries being accepted until 30th June: https://www.artsthread.com/competitions/international-student-design-competition-2022/
