The Woolmark Company has announced British designer Christopher Raeburn as its latest designer collaboration for 2016. Merino wool will play a central role in the creation of Christopher Raeburn’s AW16 womenswear presentation – putting the iconic Woolmark brand and Merino wool centre stage at the forthcoming London Fashion Week. Showcasing how Merino wool embraces technological innovation like no other fibre, Raeburn’s AW16 presentation reframes timeless iconic outerwear and base layering pieces by exploring the technical advances of Merino wool. Raeburn’s dedication to sustainability in fashion, along with his signature reappropriation of fabrics and meticulous attention to historical detail will be highlighted through his use of Merino wool, a natural, biodegradable and renewable fibre, to emphasise its adaptability, versatility, wearability and relevance to a modern audience.
