Meet the circular design pioneers reinventing the future of fashion (7 min) 2022

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation partnered with Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI) to bring circular design for fashion to the forefront of the Italian fashion industry’s creative agenda, starting with their 2022 Sustainable Fashion Awards. 

The Awards celebrate the formidable efforts of those that are striving towards an industry that’s fit for the future, and in this video we meet the designers and brands who are doing just that. 

Join us as we explore the legacies of four circular design pioneers whose brands contributed to the Foundation's Circular Design for Fashion Book and were recognised at this year’s Awards - EILEEN FISHER, NKWO, Timberland and Vestiaire Collective. 

Their stories highlight how fashion can be redefined through circular design and encourage creatives everywhere to rethink how they can design for a regenerative, circular economy. 

The Red Dress Exhibition Film (12 mins) 2021


This film is an accompaniment to the Red Dress as it travels across the world to exhibitions, to be screened alongside the Red Dress itself.

Since 2009 artist Kirstie Macleod has been engaging artisans from around the world to contribute their political, cultural and personal stories to The Red Dress.

Now a new journey begins as Kirstie and the Dress travel from the cold lights of the gallery to the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico, meeting two of the women who have contributed to it. Very few of the embroiderers have seen the dress fully assembled and Kirstie has yet to met many of them, until now.

The Story of a Panty and of Those Who Make It (1hr) 2019


The documentary The Story of a Panty and of Those Who Make It provides an immersive look into the lives of those who work in the shadow of the textile industry.

The process of making a pair of panties connects Yulduz, a farmer in the Uzbek cotton fields deprived of freedom of expression; Janaki, a young Sumangali spinner who had to leave the school benches for the factory; Mythili, a dyer in India who dreams of becoming a mother; Risma, an activist for the rights of women workers in Indonesia and my mother, Pascale, who runs a small clothing store in Belgium. But since the relocation of factories 30 years ago, she is no longer able to offer clothes 100 % Made in Belgium.

At each stage of its production, from country to country, the story of this panty takes us into the intimacy of the lives of these five women, each one a link in a global production chain. The film questions the value that one gives to the clothes but more importantly to the lives of those who make it.
