🏆🧶 Get to know the Redress Design Award 2026 Winner: Jon Liesenfeld 🌟

Jon’s sustainable designs won the hearts of our judging panel of industry experts, who admired his dedication to craftsmanship and noted the versatility of his technique for upcycling waste textiles. ⚡️❤️‍🩹

His winning collection, ‘The youth lacks its master’, fuses flawed leather with deadstock jersey, and upcycles from various waste streams, including a look made from a 15-year-old leather family couch, car leather upcycled into a coat, and deadstock sweat fabric turned into trousers. 🛋️♻️🧥
