Modern Artisan

The Prince’s Foundation’s emphasis on sustainability and its commitment to training the next generation of skilled practitioners for the fashion and textiles industry was crystalised in 2019 through the launch in The Queen Elizabeth Walled Garden pavilion of a sustainable and ready-to-wear luxury capsule collection designed by students in Italy and manufactured by trainee artisans at Dumfries House. Here, trainee artisan Jillian Halfpenny meets YNAP's Federico Marchetti and HRH The Prince of Wales, president of The Prince's Foundation.
