WONDER WOOL

Biodegradable, renewable, versatile and stylish, wool is a fantastic fibre for now and always

Wool Week, organised by the Campaign for Wool, is here again, and it’s an annual reminder of the brilliance of wool. We’re big fans of the fibre, as showcased by this look from our autumn menswear collection, featuring an extra-fine merino wool jumper, wool-blend overshirt and trousers. To mark the 10th anniversary of the Campaign for Wool, we teamed up with the University of Westminster for a competition celebrating wool and young design talent. Students were asked to design wool garments to complement M&S menswear. Winner Hannah Sosna’s design of a wool blazer, fatigue trousers and T-shirt was inspired by classic films. “Hannah added modernity to heritage pieces, incorporating wool in new and exciting ways, while aligning with M&S brand handwriting,” said Karen Hall, head of menswear design at M&S.
