Margot Leverrier and Jonas Gustavsson, Master’s students at the Swedish School of Textiles, were finalists for the international Loro Piana Knit Design Award 2025. The competition highlights talented students from leading design schools around the world, with a strong focus on innovation in knitwear and sustainable use of materials.
