The Darnell Collection: 300 Years of Stunning Fashion, Charlotte Smith, Australia

                     Woolmark and Australian Wool Innovation in Ho Chi Min City and Hanoi 

I can pretty much guarantee this was the first parade of the history of wool in Vietnam.

Forty Vietnamese models brought to life forty wool garments dating from the 1970s - 2000. My models were stunning and brought a spectacular edge to each outfit. Over fifty helpers back stage ensured the event was an enormous success.

             And, most importantly, wonderful Australian Wool was the star of the evening.
