Set To Be Announced Next Year.
Having seen the UK’s Saul Nash come out victorious last year, The Woolmark Company have unveiled the eight talents included in the International Woolmark Prize Finalists 2023.
Competing for the International Woolmark Prize and the Karl Lagerfeld Award for Innovation, the eight finalists, who are creatives in both mens and womenswear, stand to receive around £112,000 for coming out on top for the International Woolmark Prize, whilst the winner of the Karl Lagerfeld Award is set to receive around £56,000. All finalists are also set to receive roughly £50,000 to develop a merino wool collection around the general theme of ‘Dialogue’, with the Australian outfit looking to promote more sustainable practices. Competing for the top spots, the list of talents were unveiled via Instagram and include Robyn Lynch (Ireland), Paolina Russo (UK), RHUDE (USA), Bluemarble (France), A. ROEGE HOVE (Denmark), MARCO RAMBALDI (Italy), Lagos Space Programme (Nigeria), as well as MAXXIJ (South Korea).
The winners of both the International Woolmark Prize and the Karl Lagerfeld Award are set to be announced in April 2023 by a panel of industry experts.
