Sustainable fashion is finally getting all the recognition it deserves, thanks to organisations like the Twyg Sustainable Fashion Awards, which play a huge role in honouring designers and other creatives in the industry.
Twyg Sustainable Fashion Awards amplify the voices taking ownership of sustainable practices, social impact and positive transformation in fashion, textiles, design and retail.
“The jury is carefully selected to ensure different perspectives and expertise. We currently have an academic, a circularity expert and an international fashion consultant, as well as Africa’s leading fashion voice, along with a fashion editor and an international fashion retailer.
“Collectively, they bring their experience, intellect and supportive hearts into this process,” said Twyg founder Jackie May.
This year’s judging panel consists of global industry experts, including Rewoven CEO and founder, Esethu Cenga; Swiss-born creative consultant, editor and broadcaster, Mimma Viglezio; Industrie Africa founder Nisha Kanabar; Omoyemi Akerele of Lagos Fashion Week and Style House Files; academic, entrepreneur and thought leader, Dr Sipho Mbatha, and fashion director, Sharon Armstrong.
Once the panel has reviewed all the nominees, they will announce the finalists on November 12.
And then on November 20, the winners will reap their rewards at an event taking place in Cape Town.
