This year sees the development of its biggest student project to date, with four different Universities working on one design brief set by Hainsworth.<\/p>\n<p>The brief, titled Respect the Past, Create the Future, tasks students with<strong> creating a fashion garment that celebrates innovation whilst respecting Hainsworth\u2019s rich heritage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hainsworth cloth is among the most iconic in British history. Today gracing the catwalks of world renowned fashion houses, and worn by celebrities such as Harry Styles and the late Karl Lagerfeld, its premium woollen cloth has its roots firmly in British history.<\/p>\n<p>Students must work to successfully blend cutting edge techniques to <strong>construct a garment that pushes boundaries<\/strong> whilst respecting Hainsworth\u2019s deep rooted history and traditional woollen fabrics.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout early 2020,<strong> Hainsworth will visit the competing universities to judge the garments <\/strong>and one winner from each university will be selected, each receiving a cash prize of \u00a3250<strong>.<\/strong> The four finalists will then be invited to the Hainsworth mill to present their garments, and the winner will be presented with the Hainsworth Young Designer of the Year award, winning a prize of \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n<p>Producing premium textiles on the same site in West Yorkshire since 1783, Hainsworth is proud of its northern roots.
