Woolmark sheep

The Woolmark Company is the global authority on Merino wool and owns the Woolmark logo, a quality assurance symbol applied to more than 5 billion products.

The Commonwealth Fashion Exchange is an initiative for established and emerging fashion talent from across the Commonwealth’s 53 countries to showcase the power and potential of artisan fashion skills to deliver new networks, trade links and highlight sustainability.

Each designer was encouraged to use wool fibre as a sustainable element for their look. Overall, 13 designers incorporated wool in their look.

The project was launched by Commonwealth Secretary General the Rt Hon Patricia Scotland and Livia Firth, founder of sustainability consultancy Eco-Age, and supported by Swarovski, The Woolmark Company and MATCHESFASHION.COM
