Do You Want to Reinvent Fashion? Enter for the H&M Global Change Award (€1 Million Grant) 2018

Apply with your idea on how to make fashion circular for a chance to win the €1 million grant.

Application Deadline: 31st October 2017.

About the Award: What if we could make a shift from “take-make-waste” to a fashion world where there is no waste? What if we could make fashion circular.

What if everything could be made again. Knowing what we know today, how would we then create the materials we use, design the processes we utilize and construct the businesses that drive fashion? What if fashion could be truly circular? What if we could reinvent it all.

We think there is no better moment to do this than now. And we believe that you have the ideas to make it possible.
