Interview with Edoardo Brunello, who explains the spirit and objectives of the initiative aimed at highlighting the value of native Alpine wool and developing new supply chains.

Promoting native Alpine wool and building new sustainable supply chains around this resource: this is the key objective of the European Interreg Alpine Space Woolshed project, which brought together universities, local authorities, research centers, breeders, and businesses. Tollegno 1900 is also involved. “We approached Tollegno 1900 because, for this project, we were looking for a partner who not only understood the characteristics of native wools but also could help us pair these rustic materials with innovative, soft, and visually striking yarns,” explains Edoardo Brunello, a designer and research fellow at the Iuav University of Venice, and a professor at the Fashion Design Laboratory 2 in the second year of the Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design and Multimedia Arts.

Tollegno 1900 provided the wool for the project resulting from the partnership between the D-house urban laboratory, The Woolmark Company and the SMT knitwear factory and signed by Marco Rambaldi. The designer used Swarovski crystals on knitwear, for the first time with settings made in 3D.
