Re/Assembly is an initiative empowering designer talent in the fashion and textile industries’ transition toward circularity. Uniting expertise in brand sustainability, next-generation materials, future-forward upcycling design, and innovative business strategy, the collective serves as a catalyst for systemic change.

​

Its learning program for emerging talent is both thoughtful and rigorous. Through intimate workshops, hands-on material labs, and talks led by seasoned practitioners, participants learn to design with intention and connect creative exploration to professional reality. The program also provides direct access to industry pioneers, fostering authentic dialogue and meaningful professional growth.

The journey culminates in the Upcycling Fashion Design Competition, a live experiment in circular design. Here, designer talents transform post-industrial offcuts, consumer returns, and recycled textiles into inspiring garments. The process becomes an act of reflection and reinvention, a space to honor craftsmanship, challenge the notion of waste, and envision systems that are both beautiful and resilient.

​

Re/Assembly stands for a future where creativity and responsibility move in harmony, where circular design is not the exception, but the foundation of fashion’s next chapter.
