Calder said she loved the satisfaction of turning ideas into garments and entering WoolOn. Lauder Station designer Becs Calder's 2014 entry in the WoolOn Creative Fashion Event, Chain Reaction, photographed against a Central Otago backdrop. Calder said she was proud to use her industry's product for her WoolOn fashion pieces, and loved the ''thrill'' of seeing the finished garment on the catwalk. WoolOn communications co-ordinator Jill Herron said Calder epitomised the ''whole WoolOn creative vibe'' of turning sheep's wool into catwalk fashion. This year's event had new categories for novice designers and wool accessories, and entries had come from all over New Zealand, she said.
