What did the judges have to say?

D&AD Jury

Considering the textile and fashion industries are some of the most polluting in the world, Aizome's intervention into this space – revisiting textile dyes in a novel way – is a massively welcome initiative. Proving the health of those materials through the application of skincare is an amazing way to stand behind your claims, and offer a truly disruptive potential. It establishes a possible future where textiles are not just more sustainable, but also provide the source for additional industrial applications, reducing resource loss and environmental impact.
