Woolmark teams up with top London fashion designers

"Working with Cool Wool has been a fantastic experience,” stated Christopher, “We've been able to use fine Merino throughout our desert-inspired collection to bring a completely new dynamic to the Christopher Raeburn collection. My personal favourites include our signature hoodie and new hybrid jacket."

The E Tautz summer collection was full of colour and texture, and floating layers of lightweight cloths, taking inspiration from the era of the very first suit, in the time of Charles II when English men wore rich vibrant clothing, and also the era of the teddy boy with his bright velvets, rich brocade waistcoats and long elegant draped jacket.

E Tautz used a combination of incredible technical wool fabrics, woven with nylon, in some cases overprinted, and beautiful vibrant Cool Wool cloths, reworked from the 1920’s archive in neons and other super brightly coloured yarns by Bower Roebuck.

Jonathan Saunders highlighted Merino innovative applications: “We have looked at different ways of how to innovate and elevate traditional wool suiting cloths. Laser cut and bonded surface applications are used to give traditional tailoring a modern finish.

"Through the exploration of this bonding technology we have been able to achieve seamless garments in wool. Combining the luxury of wool, modern and innovative textile design. These shell like constructions have allowed us to create lightweight, unlined garments, suitable for today’s modern man.”
