The International Woolmark Prize<\/a> has continuously created a space for emerging talent to thrive, innovate and push the bounds of creativity\u2014existing within the realm of innovation & sustainability. Last years iteration stood at the precipice of artistic excellence and brilliant design with the collaboration with Saint Heron<\/a>, for art film ‘Passage’, highlighting the work of the 2021 prize finalist, in particular winner Matty Bovan<\/a>.\u00a0And as we await to see what innovative ways the Woolmark Prize visually interprets the work of this year’s finalist, judging from the amazing pool of talent, we can only imagine that it too will be not level. The 2022 finalist are;\u00a0UK’s Ahluwalia,\u00a0EGONLAB from France, Australian designer\u00a0Jordan Dalah, South African design duo\u00a0MMUSOMAXWELL, the enigma\u00a0Peter Do, LVMH Prize\u00a0Karl Lagerfeld Prize\u00a0recipient\u00a0Rui, and\u00a0Saul Nash, hailing from the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The seven finalist will interpret this year\u2019s theme, Play, each\u00a0receiving a AU$60,000 (roughly $43,000 USD) grant for the development of a Merino collection, to play and\u00a0experiment with textiles, design and business practices to drive change and innovation for a brighter future. The finalist will also be supported by a the Prize’ education and mentoring initiative, with mentoring from some of biggest titans in the design industry\u2014from stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, to fashion advocate Sin\u00e9ad Burke.\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to introduce the next generation of creative game-changers to take part in the 2022 International Woolmark Prize,\u201d<\/em> said Australian Wool Innovation (parent company of The Woolmark Company) CEO, John Roberts.<\/p>\n

“When I found out I was a finalist for the Woolmark Prize I was incredibly excited. Then finding out that it was only a handful of designers that I really respect made it feel even more unbelievable. As a designer you never really have time to measure the milestones in your career, you just keep moving forward with the aim of overcoming each hurdle or achieving a new milestone. Taking a moment to reflect on this opportunity is incredibly exciting and I am incredibly grateful.”<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“This feels like a dream come true; if I\u2019d been told a year ago that it would be happening, I wouldn\u2019t have believed it. The Prize not only has such an inspiring list of alumni – so many creative people I look up to – but it also provides a uniquely exciting space for material development and innovation. The process already feels like a career game-changer; the connections and insight offered by the team at Woolmark are meaningful and real. We – the finalists! – are feeling the positive impact of it all already.”<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
