This is me winning the Redress Design Award 2022. 🥳🥹
This is also the culmination of a long path, and passionate hard work, started back in 2013 into sustainable fashion, and that is not ending anytime soon. It is just a new beginning into a sector where you never stop learning and that I am immensely passionate about.
I am so much grateful to my family and friends who gave me the support I needed during those years to keep going, following my dreams even when it was tough.
I admire so much the Redress team and for founding such a positive organisation able to achieve so many tangible results to make fashion a better industry. It is also a wonderful community of alumni I am proud to be part of, people who believes in creating a more positive industry together.
And a big thanks to for this amazing prize and opportunity to work together, I am so excited about it!

Tailored coat with draped sleeve in soft recycled wool.
‘Micro-Rain’ BADINI C. FW22

🇬🇧
Traceability:
The main fabric is a premium recycled wool blend (70% recycled wool, 30% polyamide) from post-consumer wool garments collected and processed in Prato, Italy. While the polyamide helps obtaining the best
quality, the whole process is made in the same facilities, from recycling
garments to spinning, weaving and dying. A scientific study, called Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA), has been done on the whole production process to document
precisely the production impact concerning, among others, credentials such as CO2
emissions and Water consumption that scored with a considerably lower impact
than conventional production. The lining fabric is made in 100% cupro (a fibre
derived from cotton waste), sourced from industry production leftovers. The
custom zipper is made in Brescia province, Italy, with a recycled polyester
tape from plastic bottle collected in northern Italy and the whole garment is
stitched with 100% recycled polyester threads made in Germany.

Cappotto sartoriale con maniche drappeggiate in morbida lana riciclata.

Tracciabilità:
Il tessuto principale è realizzato
con lana riciclata (70% lana riciclata, 30% poliammide) da capi in lana
dismessi “post-consumo” raccolti e processati a Prato, Italia. La poliammide
aiuta a mantenere una qualità eccellente e duratura. L’intera filiera del
riciclo, filatura, tessitura e tintura vengono realizzate in un’unica azienda,
a Prato. Uno studio scientifico, chiamato Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), è stato
realizzato sulla produzione di questo tessuto e documenta precisamente la minore CO2 emessa, risparmio di acqua e altri fattori ambientali. La fodera è realizzata in cupro (una fibra
derivata dagli scarti del cotone), recuperata da rimanenze tessili industriali.
La zip personalizzata è realizzata in provincia di Brescia, Italia, con una
fettuccia in poliestere riciclato da bottiglie di plastica raccolte in Italia, capo cucito con filo in 100% poliestere riciclato realizzato
in Germania.
