Bu isimleri aklınızın bir köşesinde tutmanızı
öneririz, zira 1953’te Avustralya yününün geniş
kullanım alanlarını ve modernliğini tanıtma
amacıyla Uluslararası Yün İdaresi tarafından
düzenlenen töreni hatırlayacak olursak, o
dönemde henüz tanınmayan genç kadın giyim
tasarımcıları Karl Lagerfeld (21) ve Yves Saint
Laurent (18) sırasıyla palto ve elbise tasarımı
kategorilerinde ödül kazanmıştı. Jüride, pek çok
önemli ismin yanı sıra, Hubert de Givenchy ve
Pierre Balmain’ın da bulunduğunu belirtmeden
geçmeyelim.
Kimlerin bu yarışmayla uluslararası büyük
tasarımcılar arasına katıldığını merak
ediyorsanız, yakın zamanda düzenlenen ödül
törenlerinde şöhret kazanmış birkaç sıra
dışı tasarımcıya ve güncel uluslararası moda
sahnesini nasıl şekillendirdiklerine bir göz atalım:
•Belçikalı Christian Wijnants, 2013 yılının şubat
ayında Londra Moda Haftası’nda düzenlenen
etkinlikte 2012-2013 Uluslararası Woolmark
Ödülü’nü kazandı.
•Hindistanlı tasarımcı Rahul Mishra,
2014 şubat ayında Milano Moda Haftası’nda
açıklanan 2013/14 kazananı oldu.
Public School’un arkasındaki isimler olan New
Yorklu tasarım ikilisi Dao-Yi Chow
ve Maxwell Osborne, Ocak 2015’te London
Collections Men etkinliğinde verilen Woolmark
ödüllerinde 2014/15 sezonu Erkek Giyim
kategorisinin ilk kazananı oldu.
•İngiliz markası Teatum Jones, 2016 yılı şubat
ayında düzenlenen New York Moda Haftası’nda
Kadın Giyim Ödülü’nü kazandı.
Bu yılki ödül töreni lider prodüksiyon ajansı
OBO tarafından, Paris’in ikonik etkinlik
alanında düzenlendi. Işık Şehri’nin önemini
The Woolmark Company’nin Yönetim Müdürü
Stuart McCullough şu kelimelerle ifade etti:
“Paris yün sektörü için daima önemi bir
pazar oldu. Dünyanın en ikonik lüks moda
evlerinin yanı sıra, modayı en yakından takip
eden öncü müşterilere de ev sahipliği yapıyor.
Yeniden Paris’te düzenlenen Uluslararası
Woolmark Ödülü modanın gelecek nesline ışık
tutuyor. COTTWEILER’ı ve Gabriela Hearst’ü
başarılarından ötürü tebrik ediyorum.”

consultant, and finally AU$100,000 each to
support the development of their business.
Mark these names in the back of your
 mind
as history goes back as far as 1954, where
the very same award event, then held by the
International Wool Secretariat to promote
the same core aspect – the versatility and
modernity of Australian wool that is, crowned
the two young, unknown womenswear
designers, Karl Lagerfeld (21) and Yves Saint
Lauren (18) for the coat and dress design
category respectively. Not to mention that the
judging panel consisted 
of Hubert de Givenchy
and Pierre Balmain, amongst others.
If you wonder who took the international
stage via this contest, well here are a few
of the outstanding designers who have
gained momentum since the most recent
award receptions and are shaping today’s
international fashion scene:
•Christian Wijnants from Belgium was announced
the winner of the 2012/13 International Woolmark
Prize during the final award event held during
London Fashion Week in February 2013.
•Rahul Mishra from India was announced the
overall winner of the 2013/14 competition during
Milan Fashion Week in February 2014.
•New York-based design duo Dao-Yi Chow and
Maxwell Osborne at the helm of Public School
were awarded with the inaugural Menswear
2014/15 award during London Collections: Men in
January 2015.
•UK label Teatum Jones received the
Womenswear Award during New York Fashion
Week in February 2016.
This year’s event was at the iconic venue 
in
Paris and the importance of the City of Light
has been put into words by The Woolmark
Company Managing Director Stuart McCullough,
as follows “Paris has always been a key market for
wool. It is not only home to some of the world’s
most iconic luxury fashion houses, but also to
some of the world most fashion-forward, savvy
consumers. Bringing the International Woolmark
Prize back to Paris shines the spotlight on
fashion’s next generation, and I congratulate both
COTTWEILER and Gabriela Hearst on their well-
deserved wins.”
