Woolmark Puts Merino Wool Innovation Centre Stage at Pitti Filati with The Wool Lab Themes and Journal Debut
30 6月 2026
Woolmark returns to Pitti Filati to lead AW27 sourcing conversations, spotlighting two new The Wool Lab trend-led themes, the debut of The Wool Lab journal for the European and Italian market and a stand centring the role of Merino wool as a high-performance technical fibre.
The Wool Lab Themes
Duality
The immaculate and the altered, the ethereal and the elemental: explore the dual nature of wool for design. Merino wool’s rare combination of natural finesse and versatility opens the possibilities to create garments that perform across contexts, from forward thinking fashion to utility-driven essentials.
The Wool Lab Themes
Summit & Shelter
Create a dialogue between performance and protection for movement and rest. At the summit where the air is bracing, performance is governed by thermodynamic volatility. Merino wool’s natural resilience brings micro-climatic stability to the ascent and thermal restoration in stillness.
The Wool Lab Themes
Gen K
A balance of craft and elevated rebellion, Gen K connects past and future through the visual language of depth and form. With fine gauges and sculptural volume, explore knitwear that mediates tradition and modernity. Heritage stitches are reinterpreted with technical precision, harnessing the wool fibre’s natural capacity for variation in weight, texture and artistic expression.
