The fashion awards have grown into a prestigious event attracting high-profile designers, with the 2015 entries to be paraded in the Country Lifestyle marquee at the Henty Machinery Field Days on September 22-24.
Country Lifestyle co-ordinator Lyn Jacobsen said the Natural Fibre Fashion Awards grew from the demise of Wagga’s Golden Gown.
“This competition is free and open to all designers, but the fabric in the garment must be at least 70 per cent natural fibre, which can be wool, cotton, alpaca, silk, linen or combinations,” she said.
“With 2015 being the Year of the Sheep, the focus on wool will take on an international relevance.’’
The winner of the best garment made with natural fibres will receive $2000 and $500 each to the winners of the best knitted or crocheted garment, millinery and accessory.
To enter the awards contact Lyn Jacobsen on 0428 690 222, email nat uralfibre@hmfd.com.au or phone the HMFD office on (02) 6929 3305.
