Second life for work clothes
Interested in sustainable fashion and recycling? Then take part in our upcycling design contest now and create fashion from our dungarees and bermudas. Whether streetwear or business wear - there are no limits to your creativity.
Just like fashion, workwear generates tons of textile waste every year. CWS always gets the discarded workwear back through its circular service model. This is because we wash, repair and care for the durable CWS clothing for companies and ensure its reuse with various recycling projects.
In 2023, CWS Workwear wants to give young talents the opportunity to live out their creativity on workwear.
Be creative
Develop at least 2-3 innovative designs.
Breathe new life into CWS workwear with creative designs.
Online application deadline: 15 April
Presentation at fashion show
- A jury of experts selects the best designs.
- Those selected will present their designs at a fashion show at the Frankfurt Fashion Lounge in summer 2023.
- The most creative upcycling talent will also receive a personal master class with Berlin upcycling pioneer Daniel Kroh.
