Wool4School is an annual student design competition encouraging young aspiring fashion designers to show the nation what they’re made of. The winner receives the exciting prize of a free short course prize including five days of accommodation in London.

The 2023 competition is now open and the brief is:

Earth, Water, Fire and Air: Design a unique outfit made from wool, taking inspiration from the earth’s natural elements.

The outfit must be made of at least 70% Merino wool. The aim is to encourage budding fashion designers to use Merino wool as a sustainable and adaptable material for innovative thinking and creative design.
