8 May 2009, Sydney – Australian Merino wool showed its ‘cool’ side in a number of spring/summer 09/10 designer collection shows at the 2009 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) – affirming the fibre’s reputation as the natural choice for year round fashion.
Local designers including fashion royalty Jayson Brunsdon and new guard stars – Ben Pollitt (of Friedrich Gray), Gary Bigeni and Konstantina Mittas – wowed buyers, the media and other members of the fashion pack with their diverse collections of super soft and featherweight wool jerseys that demonstrated Australian Merino wool’s naturally luxurious feel, breathability and versatility.
Australian Wool Innovation CEO Brenda McGahan says this year’s RAFW saw an unprecedented number of Australian fashion designers using Australian Merino wool in their spring/summer collections.
