Wool4School

Wool4School is the perfect teacher resource to challenge and inspire your students to think beyond the traditional bounds of fashion design. This annual competition is a chance for budding fashion designers to unleash their creativity and show the world their design skills. Not only does Wool4School encourage students to think innovatively and creatively, but it also emphasizes the importance of sustainability in the fashion industry.

With over 100,000 students participating worldwide, Wool4School is a great opportunity for students to put their design skills to the test and compete against their peers. The competition requires students to consider the sustainability of their design, from sourcing pre-loved materials to choosing environmentally conscious methods of production. This not only helps students develop their design skills but also their understanding of the impact the fashion industry has on the environment.

The competition requires students to design an outfit that features a minimum of 70% Merino wool and blends old and new materials. This is a great way to get students thinking about how they can harness the amazing properties of wool to create a unique and innovative design.

Whether you’re a teacher of fashion design, sustainability, or simply looking for a fun and educational activity for your students, Wool4School is the perfect teacher resource. Encourage your students to showcase their creativity and explore the exciting world of sustainable fashion design.
