Wool Modern Showcases Australia’s Top Designers
From the Campaign for Wool, Wool Modern brings avant garde wool design to Sydney.
Wool Modern will open to the public this ANZAC Day, Wednesday, April 25, in a celebration of one of Australia's top industries. This year's exhibition aims to dissolve any preconceptions about the wool industry by demonstrating the new, fashionable 21st century platform for the natural fibre.
Featuring the "modern, innovative, and avant garde" use of wool throughout today's creative industries, Wool Modern promises to upstage your thick winter socks. Prominent Australian fashion and interior designers (including Collette Dinnigan and Akira Isogawa) will display their creations among industry greats such as Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood. The exhibition was the highlight of the 2011 Campaign for Wool, and was visited by the Prince of Wales himself last year.
Wool Modern will be held on Pier 1 & 2 in Sydney from April 25 to Tuesday, May 1. From there, it will be transplanted to the nearby Queen Victoria Building on George Street, where it will remain through June.
