My concept is a cropped spring outerwear jacket designed with ECONYL® regenerated nylon for both shell and lining, ensuring a mono-material construction. The design incorporates pleated panels that add volume and timeless structure without relying on trend-driven details, supporting longevity. Using recycled nylon reduces environmental impact during production and maintains full traceability through the ECONYL® regeneration system. The mono-material approach enables simple end-of-life recycling, allowing the jacket to be endlessly regenerated into new fibers. This concept directly aligns with the Circular Design Award criteria of safe materials, durability, resource efficiency, and circularity.

This concept directly aligns with the Circular Design Award criteria of safe materials, durability, resource efficiency, and circularity.
This concept should win because it demonstrates how circularity and high fashion design can coexist, merging innovative mono-material construction with a refined, timeless silhouette. By using ECONYL® for both shell and lining, the jacket embodies a fully recyclable, low-impact solution that directly answers the Award’s call for future-forward circular design.
