Circular Design Award - Hugo Boss and Fashion Pioneers
And the winner is… 🏆
All I remember is my heart racing đź’“. From seeing my name on the big screen in front of me to getting on stage and receiving the award - it's all a blur - but a wonderful one.
Last Friday, I received the Circular Design Award by HUGO BOSS at the Fashion Pioneers Awards. I'm beyond honored and excited to collaborate with HUGO BOSS to bring my vision to life. 🌱
But what made the night so special to me wasn't just my win - it was celebrating alongside people like Pleun Pijnenburg, Coby Laureijs, Arian Soltani, and Nicole Plender, my fellow nominees, who each brought incredible visions for circular design. 🎉 It was seeing VNYX, Yumeko, and Made Out Of receive their awards. It was feeling the collective energy of everyone there. ✨
What the fashion industry needs are the visionaries, the ones who think big, the ones who dream, the ones who want to make a real impact, the ones who think differently, the ones who want to challenge the status quo - and we need to work together. At the Fashion Pioneers Awards, I could see that happening: a room filled with changemakers, innovative ideas being shared, people inspiring each other. đź’ˇ
Hannah Wood, Bodil Huisman, Patricia Czap: Thank you for your confidence in my design and concept. I'm looking forward to working together with you and the HUGO BOSS team to prove that scaling circularity is possible - and to inspire other big players to follow. 🔄
Thank you, Chanel Trapman, for founding this award and creating this platform for pioneers to thrive. Thank you, Ambrose Jude Van Tiberias, for bringing it all together so beautifully, and Sophie Benson for being such an incredible host.
