The Prince of Wales launches capsule collection with Yoox Net-A-Porter


12 11 2020

The Prince of Wales and his charity The Prince’s Foundation have teamed up with Yoox Net-A-Porter Group, launching an 18 piece sustainable capsule collection as a result of the The Modern Artisan training programme, which saw young artisans from the UK and Italy trained in 'traditional craftsmanship skills and digital tools'.

The collaboration, including both mens and womenswear, 'celebrates both the rich heritage and future of British and Italian textile craftsmanship', and Jacqueline Farrell, Education Director for The Prince’s Foundation at Dumfries House, said 'The Modern Artisan project is a unique collaboration that champions sustainability and prepares trainees with the skills and confidence needed to gain employment in the fashion and textile industry, or start their own business. Managing the project on behalf of The Prince’s Foundation at Dumfries House and overseeing our skilled tutors teach the trainees artisanal skills and traditional methods of production to a new generation of makers has, for me, been a dream come true'.
