Merino wool has outstanding functionality. It moderates temperature and humidity, manages moisture, is flame resistant, anti-microbial and has a natural crimp for stretch and recovery. No other fibre like Merino wool has a rich heritage driven by innovation and change. Inspired by nature, Merino wool connects contemporary culture with progressive apparel for those who aren't afraid to experiment.
Showcasing how Merino wool embraces technological innovation like no other fibre, Raeburn's AW16 presentation reframes timeless iconic outerwear and base layering pieces by exploring the technical advances of Merino wool.
Raeburn's dedication to sustainability in fashion, along with his signature reappropriation of fabrics and meticulous attention to historical detail will be highlighted through his use of Merino wool, a natural, biodegradable and renewable fibre, to emphasise its adaptability, versatility, wearability and relevance to a modern audience.
The Woolmark Company and Raeburn collaboration will be previewed at the ICA on 23rd February.
