@GetRedressed with us

Redress invites people to join the campaign by sharing pictures of them on Instagram @GetRedressed #the365challenge wearing restyled, reconstructed, repaired or recycled clothing. A selection of the stylists’ favourite secondhand outfits, worn by Christina, will be sold later in the year to raise funds for Redress and Friends of the Earth (HK).
