The Future Maker Award, proudly presented by The Mills Fabrica, celebrates emerging talents who are shaping the future of textiles.
This year’s winners receive a six-month residency at our prototyping lab, where they receive mentorship, access to cutting-edge facilities, and opportunities to connect with industry partners. This journey culminates in a showcase that elevates their work and propels their professional growth within an inspiring ecosystem.
Take a sneak peek at two inspiring collections from THEi awardees:
✨ Sarah CHEUNG | Her collection embodies softness, healing, and elegance in white tones, inspired by the ethereal beauty of clouds and the delicate art of quilling, blending sophistication with grace.
✨ Madonna MAK | Inspired by the resilience of the homeless community, her designs use layering, deconstruction, and repurposed materials to convey survival, resourcefulness, and identity—challenging conventional beauty with garments that speak of strength and dignity.
Creativity is coming alive in the prototyping lab—stay tuned for the inspiring collections from the other two HKDI awardees, coming soon!
