NOVEMBER 2 2019

Savanah Avery is one of the 10 young designers nominated for the Fashion Makes Sense Award 2019. 

The Fashion Makes Sense Award, an initiative by Fashionclash, is a supportive award for a new generation of fashion designers with innovative disruptive ideas that can contribute to a development of a more sustainable fashion industry.

The aim of this project is to offer a new generation of designers, with innovative and sustainable ideas, a stage and to encourage designers to think about sustainability. In addition, the project aims to create awareness about sustainable fashion among a broad audience.

Savanah Avery showed her work as a part of the 2018 New Order of Fashion exhibition ‘Shape Shifters’. She is known for her use of plant-based materials such as bamboo, banana and tencel. The award was won by Paolo Carzana, who also exhibited as a part of the ‘Shape Shifters’ exhibition, in 2018.
