"I work with wool as I work with my creations: I like to find solutions, to speak with my team about how we can innovate with this natural and traditional material. We experience new cuts, new design, new prints. And above all new ideas," said Mr Alber Elbaz, creative director of Lanvin and judge of the International Woolmark Prize, Europe.

The history of the International Woolmark Prize is in itself strongly linked to the evolution of French fashion, as the second edition of the competition, in 1954, was actually won by two very young designers, Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent, whose contributions to modern fashion, and particularly to French fashion, is immense.

"France is at the forefront of the next phase of growth as part of our Global Marketing strategy,” explained Stuart McCullough. “We have a commitment to support and highlight excellence and creativity, definitely two strong assets of the country. In the next months, we'll work to expand and reinforce our connections in the market, with the aim to develop relevant Marketing and Communication activities."
