The fashion industry has a problem: overproduction, overconsumption and the rise of fast, disposable fashion. These issues are not only environmentally disastrous but are helping to entrench social inequality, with unfortunate results. The Tanween Bio-tech Fashion challenge invites designers to create a unique garment that explores the potential of new biomaterials, digital fabrication techniques and business models. The aim is to turn heads on main street or the catwalk while creating a more sustainable future for the industry, consumers and the planet. Winning entries will be exhibited at Ithra’s Tanween 2022 and Bilbao Bizkaia Design Week.
