ReDressed is about showing how existing clothes can be redesigned and remade into 'new' ones – extending the life of garments and keeping them in use for longer – as part of a competition and refashion show.

Contestants have been asked to choose an existing garment(s) and upcycle it (or them) to be a ‘new’ wearable garment/outfit.

The garments have been judged by a panel of expert judges in various categories with the finalists selected for the REDRESSED 2024: ReFashion Show.

Prizes are awarded across 4 categories:

1. Circular design and sustainability

2. Creativity and innovation

3. Skills and craftsmanship

4. Wearability

A fifth category Ability to be Replicated, is for tertiary design students and professional contestants.

If you have been or could have been exposed to COVID19 through travel or a close contact, please consider your attendance and or wearing a mask at the event.
