Photo: 2007 Wool Fashion Awards Supreme-Award-&-1st--CollectionThe 2008 Australian Wool Fashion Awards were held in Armidale (New England) in early March.
Growing up I loved wool. I loved the smell in the wool-sheds. I loved wool pull-overs, the feel of wool.

Today it has become harder to buy decent wool clothing. Suits, for example, are nearly all blends.
I do not fully understand why wool should have fallen out of fashion in the way it has. It remains a magnificent natural fibre.
The Australian Wool Fashion Awards are a continuing attempt to redress the balance.

Sponsored by Australian Wool Innovation Limited (AWI) the Awards are designed to showcase the use of Merino wool by national and international fashion designers and students.
The competition’s main aim is to educate and encourage young designers in the wonderful qualities of wool.
Secondary school students through to tertiary fashion students are enticed to use the many versatile wool and wool blend fabrics to create their entries.
The rewards include significant cash prizes, gifts of work experience with leading Australian fashion designers and Scholarships to study at recognised Fashion Institutes. Many entrants hav
e gone onto careers in fashion.
The Awards are not just for the young, entrants of all ages vie for the prizes and prestige of a win in the competition that many say is the hardest to win.

Hello:
I found your fashion blog and I'd like to check with you if you are interested in becoming ModernTailor partner.
There are several ways we can create a partnership.
1. We are looking for product endorsers. We can provide free shirts to key personalities in exchange for some endorsement, an article on website etc.
2. We have an affiliate program that allows customers to earn 15% commission from promoting our products.
3. We also allow private labeling of custom tailoring services. We allow our back end program to be used while another brand (private label) is advertised. We can create the backend programming and website for you for a minimal cost of at least $250 usd for the website, $100 usd for the installation and $49.95 per month for the maintenance.
When we receive orders from your website, we will do blind drop shipment to your customers after our tailors in Shanghai have completed the creation of the shirts.
If you have other ideas on how our companies can work together, let me know. I am willing to explore opportunities.
Regards,
Anna
