             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
