INSPIRATION AT THE WOOL FASHION SHOW
29-Apr-2008

Mullion Extrafine Merino was kindly invited to view the latest wool fashions in Sydney during the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.  We enjoyed front row seats right on the runway giving us the best view in the house.  The Protege Showcase presented five of the world's best young designers offering their Australian Merino fashions. They were:

Jean Pierre Braganza, selected by Karl Lagerfeld
Kristian Aadnevik, selected by Donatella Versace
Ioannis Cholidis, selected by Sir Paul Smith
Julian Louie, selected by Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein
Sandra Backlund, selected by Franca Sozzani, Editor Vogue Italia

We were invited back stage to meet the designers and presented them with some merino fleece.  The designers enjoyed learning more about the fibre they make lovely wool garments from. 

Thank you to Andreina Longhi of Attila & Co (www.attila.it)  and Marina Coffa of Tad Italy (www.taditaly.com) for inviting us to the event. Your time was much appreciated and the whole experience was very inspiring for both myself and the little Monica in our family.
