The annual Global Change Award takes on one of the biggest challenges facing today’s fashion industry – to create fashion for a growing population while protecting the planet. We are looking for early stage ideas that present new circular approaches aimed to reinvent the fashion industry.

This means changing the way garments are designed and produced, shipped, bought, used and recycled, by adding disruptive technology or new business models.
