I have posted often on the fabulous Campaign for wool, set up to promote the benefits and versatility of wool. The Campaign has HRH The Prince of Wales as confirmed patron until 2015 and is a collaborative initiative that involves farmers, manufacturers, fashion designers & retailers from around the world. 15th – 21st October saw Britain celebrate wool week, it was a full week of woolly stunts and new initiatives.
My favorite of these was 2012 Wool School, a great opportunity for fashion, textile and design students to compete with their knitwear designs to be sold in some of the UK’s top retailers.
“WOOL SCHOOL has been created to encourage the young designers of tomorrow to engage with the UK’s favorite natural fibre as they are guided by their paired retailer in a creative production process. 5% of WOOL SCHOOL jumper sales will go back into fashion education programmes across the UK and Wool School will be back, bigger and better in 2013!” Campaign for wool
My personal favorite winner is this super cute foxy jumper…
