At The Mills Fabrica, we are passionate about inspiring the next generation of sustainable innovators. The Future Maker Award, proudly presented by The Mills Fabrica, embodies our commitment to recognising and empowering emerging talents who are shaping the future of the textile industry.
Exceptional students from esteemed local fashion institutions, including The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), and The Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEi), are handpicked to receive the award.
In 2024, we proudly awarded five talented graduates as the Future Maker Awardees.
The Mills Fabrica is committed to providing robust commercial support to the Future Maker Awardees, utilising Fabrica X as a vital retail channel. This initiative aims to allow winners to gain firsthand experience in preparing launch of their own brands after graduating, bridging the gap between design and commercial production. By showcasing and selling their products in a dynamic retail environment, the designers not only reach a broader audience but also receive invaluable insights into market trends and consumer preferences. This hands-on experience equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of the fashion industry, fostering their growth as future leaders in sustainable design.

We partnered with SFAA, coaching each designer to create a unique product, benefiting from tools and expertise tailored for commercial-level design and production. Their innovative creations were crafted using sustainably sourced fabrics from sponsor Stella Blu, ensuring an eco-friendly approach. These remarkable products will be featured at Fabrica X, an Impact Retail store that not only showcases the designs but also shares the inspiring stories behind each creator's journey.
