A Touch of Wool III

(Image sourced from 'Design for Comfort' the 2009 catalogue)

I have been invited to showcase a collection at 'A Touch of Wool III' fashion show.
 In past years designers such as: Aurelio Costarella, Rebecca Patterson, Megan Salmon and Sooyung Yang to name a few have shown at this event.
The show will be held at Perth Fashion Festival, Fashion Central, Forrest Chase, Western Australia.
The entry is free!

‘A touch of wool’ has grown from the Design for Comfort collaborative research project between The Department of Agriculture and Food WA and Curtin University. It focuses on innovative science and design technology within the area of WA wool fibre research.
The most exciting part of this event is that a farming group called the West Australian Superfine Woolgrowers Association (WASWA) have put together some very fine quality wool for the designers of this show to use! This wool is unique, rare and therefore expensive. It is as fine as cashmere.This wool is usually seen in high quality fashion garments. 

And now my work begins.
