Funded Activity Summary

Innovative Solutions for Wool Garment Comfort through Design. This project will investigate how innovation in garment design can add value to the Australian wool clip and be a driver for new industrial development and product innovation. The project is relevant to stakeholders in rural communities as it will show the potential of new distributed technologies for resource-based industries and enable the wool industry to deliver increases in national wealth while minimising environmental impacts. As the project will provide examples of design-led innovation for a traditional Australian product, the links made between wool and garment innovation will encourage a broader consumer understanding of Australian cultural identity.
