Across 10 categories – Emerging
Designer, Accessories, Innovative Design
and Materials, the Nicholas Coutts Award,
Farm-to-Fashion, Social Impact, Retail,
The Tastemaker Award, Trans-Seasonal
Design and Footwear – Twyg selects
winners who implement sustainable,
ethical, circular and regenerative design.
The winners with the highest scores in
each category are then eligible for the
Changemaker Award, which recognises
a designer whose career embraces
sustainable and circular design practices.
The annual awards, first launched in
2019, not only celebrate South African
designers, innovators, influencers
and activists, awarding them for their
hard work, but also project their
groundbreaking work to a larger
audience. This in turn encourages
consumers to shop sustainably and invites
the next generation of designers to take a
sustainable approach.
Nominations for the 2023 Twyg
Sustainable Fashion Awards are in, and
judging is currently underway. The
finalists will be revealed on 14 November
2023, and the winners will be announced
at an awards ceremony in late November
in Cape Town.
Change is happening, but to change
everything, we need everyone! dw
