New York-based knitwear label, M Patmos, led by Marcia Patmos, has been chosen as the 2015 International Woolmark Prize winner at the annual awards ceremony, which was held this year in Beijing. Victoria Beckham, Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani, Colin McDowell, and Vogue China editor Angelica Cheung were on the judging panel that saw stiff competition from 60 other designers from 21 countries across the globe. “The International Woolmark Prize gives emerging talent from wherever they are an incredible opportunity,” said Beckham following the announcement. “I am really excited to be here in Beijing to be part of this event. I felt that Patmos embodied best what The Woolmark Company Prize stands for. The collection was well executed and the concept interesting.”
