We are proud to announce the first structured academic–industry partnership between lululemon and PolyU's School of Fashion and Textiles (SFT). Launched alongside the relaunch of lululemon's Like New program in Hong Kong, the collaboration connects circular activewear education with real-world industry practice through three initiatives running until November 2026.
- RE:FORM: A circular design competition where students are reimagining end-of-life lululemon garments with guidance from industry mentors.
- Like New Campus Voices: A student-led initiative that promotes circularity and responsible consumption across the university community.
- Move Like New: Experiential wellness activities on campus that connect mindful living with circular fashion.
Together, these three initiatives are creating a new model for integrating circularity into design, communication, and lifestyle education in activewear, while helping prepare the next generation of sustainable fashion leaders. Associate Professor Chloe Ki of PolyU's School of Fashion and Textiles (SFT) shared: "This partnership connects circular fashion education directly with industry practice, offering meaningful learning opportunities for our students… It represents a meaningful academic–industry model that strengthens knowledge exchange and demonstrates how partnerships can foster a more circular ecosystem."
