The Woolmark Company and KaDeWe hosted an exclusive event to present the culmination of The Berlin Wool Lab Project, a 12-month collaboration that has inspired and connected some of Germany's top emerging design talent with some of the best Merino wool fabric suppliers in the world. Twelve designers were selected to participate in the project in February 2015 and offered support from The Woolmark Company in obtaining their preferred fabrics from the Spring/Summer 2016 edition of The Wool Lab under the guidance of leading fashion journalist Melissa Drier.

Created twice a year by The Woolmark Company, The Wool Lab is an innovative seasonal guide to the best selection of commercially available wool fabrics and yarns in the world. Outlining the emerging macro-themes from fashion and other fields, it influences emerging fashion trends and both inspires and informs the textile industry, fashion professionals and retailers about the vast potential and trans-seasonal properties of this premium, natural fiber.

The chosen designers in The Berlin Wool Lab Project have been developing Merino wool fabrics into outfits within their Spring/Summer 2016 collections, over the past 12 months, which are now on show in window displays and in-store at KaDeWe until early March and are available to buy form the designers' own websites.
