The finalists have been chosen for the 2021 International Woolmark Prize. This year's theme, Less is More, continues the prize's transparency focus, championing slow and responsibly produced fashion and craftsmanship, with each item highlighting the supply chain. An expert advisory council, including Naomi Campbell, Livia Firth and Tim Blanks, chose the six finalists from more than 380 applicants from 55 countries. 

The finalists are:

Bethany Williams, UK Casablanca, France Kenneth Ize, Nigeria Lecavalier, Canada Matty Bovan, UK Thebe Magugu, South Africa

In 2021, the six finalists will present a Merino wool collection highlighting transparency throughout their supply chain with NFC technology from partner Blue Bite and a Common Objective sustainability roadmap.
