Resortecs wins Global Change Award

Vanessa Counaert and Cédric Vanhoeck with the award

On March the 20th, Resortecs has been awarded with its Smart Stitch Innovation. The Co-Founder from Resortecs, Cédric Vanhoeck was a participant at the FASHIONCLASH Festival 2017.

The Global Change Award is an innovation challenge initiated by the non-profit H&M Foundation. The Global Change Award is one of the world’s biggest challenges for early stage innovation and the first such initiative in the fashion industry. 

Cédric Vanhoeck says about the award: ‘’thanks to this award, we’ll get additional means to evolve our first working prototype to the next level. We are now just a stitch away from conscious fashion!’’



As 1 of the 5 winners of the prestigious Global Change Award, we are looking forward to the global accelerator program together with H&M Foundation, KTH Innovation, Accenture and Fjord.

The Resortecs shoe

The Resortecs stitching is engineered to enable labour-poor and cost efficient disassembly of products into reusable product components as apposed to a mix of shredded material. Resortecs is working on a fully dismantle-able and therefore recyclable shoe. The shoe will be named JOAN – the most circular shoe.

Charlotte Kan

Charlotte Kan is a Dutch womenswear designer. She started her label Charlotte Kan in 2008, a year after graduating cum laude at the Willem de Kooning academy in Rotterdam. Charlotte Kan is inspired by girls that take fashionable self-portraits. This translates into a highly wearable collection with a minimal cut and clever detailing. The collection is designed and produced in small editions in her studio in Rotterdam.
Starting February 2011 each month a new design is produced and presented in the project Play&Pose. In this project fashion bloggers are asked to photograph themselves in new Charlotte Kan designs. This way the garment is presented by the wearer itself. Pretty cool!

 SS2012 Play&Pose with fashion bloggers Charlotte Kan gave 10 SS2012 garments to 10 fashion bloggers. They were free to style the items and combine them with their own garments. During Amsterdam Fashionweek they were photographed by Carina Hesper for the Play&Pose lookbook.

Meet Charlotte Kan and her collection this weekend at FASHIONCLASH Market!
