Save it With a Scarf
World Land Trust and Liberty Scarves
International conservation charity the World Land Trust have collaborated with Liberty to create a collection of exclusive scarves. The five prints were created by Textile Design students at Winchester School of Art, and represent conservation projects around the world that are in urgent need of awareness and funds. 15% of all sales will be donated to the World Land Trust.
Winchester School of Art Competition
Over 40 final year students were asked to design five prints each for the project, with each scarf representing one of the World Land Trust project areas – Borneo, India, Paraguay, Atlantic Rainforest and the Keepers of the Wild programme. We took a behind-the-scenes peek at the finalist entries, which were displayed in the Heritage Suite at Liberty. These were narrowed down to a final five by an expert panel including Tammy Tinker – Fashion Assistant at Vogue, Liberty Accessories Buyer Alexandra Stylianidis, Shoe Designer Michael Lewis, Wildlife Artist Bruce Pearson and Jewellery Designer Dominic Jones. The winning students are Evelyn Males Echeverria for Paraguay, Freya Perrett for Rangers, Lollie Dunbar for Borneo and India, and Phoebe Farrell for Atlantic Rainforest in Argentina.
World Land Trust
With Sir David Attenborough as its patron, the World Land Trust has helped to save over 500,000 acres of threatened habitat since it was established in 1989. The Trust always work in collaboration with local partners and non-governmental organisations, and stand by their policy to never own any of the land they help to purchase outright.
