The winners of the International Woolmark Prize 2015/2016, the brands Suketdhir for menswear and Teatum Jones for womenswear, will see their Autumn 2016 creations distributed by leading retailers around the world.

The winners have earned themselves AUD100,000, and will receive advice from experienced professionals. But above all, their collections will go on sale in department stores and shops such as MyTheresa.com, Saks Fifth Avenue, Harvey Nichols (UK), Isetan Mitsukoshi (Japan), Boutique 1(UAEs), Verso (Belgium), and L’Eclaireur (France).

"Associating with organisations such as The Woolmark Company, paying a tribute to the designers' own vision and showcasing their work to a wider audience: all of this contributes to this mission's fulfilment," said Patrick Aramburu, in charge of menswear purchasing at L'Eclaireur. "Every day we learn something more about the way in which the items created by these talented artists ought to be perceived, approached and worn."

Launched in 1980, nowadays L’Eclaireur operates six stores located throughout Paris. At the end of 2014, its executive team announced it aspires to open a 600 m² store in Los Angeles, on Robertson Boulevard, West Hollywood.
