The prestigious award recognizes the work of young talents whose collections enhance the beauty and versatility of merino wool. Spanish designers Etxeberria, Juan Vidal, Leandro Cano, Moisés Nieto and Pablo Erroz have been finalists of the contest in recent editions.
The prize consists of a cash prize of 270,000 Australian dollars to the Best, men and women, Collections and the Innovation Award, which was launched last year and endowed with 100,000 Australian dollars. The winners and finalists will also have the opportunity to market and sell their merino wool capsule collections in the best stores and department stores around the world through their extensive network of the award’s partners, including Harvey Nicols, Lane Crawford, Leclaireur , Mytheresa.com or Takashiyama, among others.
