Alexander Wang joins forces with AWI
Winner of the 2009 Council of Fashion Designers of America Swarovski Award for Womenswear Alexander Wang has again partnered with Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) for his ready-to-wear spring 2010 collection.
“After working with AWI last fall, it’s been an exciting opportunity to experiment with new technologies and to continue to use Australian Merino wool, an innovative fibre,” notes Wang, “especially for a season you wouldn’t expect wool to be a major part of.”
AWI CEO, Brenda McGahan, says: “This is our second season of partnership with Alexander Wang. His innovative use of Australian merino wool for the 2010 spring collection is helping put a fresh spin on the world’s best natural fibre. In his hands, wool—typically regarded as a fall-winter staple—is proving how truly versatile a fibre it is, for spring and year-round apparel.”
