Daphne Randle, who has entered all the WoolOn contests, has three outfits and an accessory entered in this year's event.
The designer has also inspired her daughter Sherilee to take part and two of her granddaughters Brie (12) and Tyla (10) Davidson, have entered this year's contest.
Mrs Randle has won the supreme award twice - last year and in 2011.
The 11th annual WoolOn will be staged in Alexandra on Friday and Saturday and the event is the last on the Alexandra Blossom Festival programme.
''The standard of entries in this year's WoolOn is exceptionally high, which goes to show the competition is focused on top design and craftsmanship'', festival manager Martin McPherson said.
The overall number of entries was among the highest received for the awards, with the streetwear category the most popular, attracting 14 entries.
WoolOn also features sections for menswear, knitwear, young designers, felted garments, avant-garde, special occasion wear and accessories. All entries must contain at least 75% wool.
Designers from around the country have entered. As well as this year's entries, the past 10 supreme winning garments will also be paraded on the catwalk, Mr McPherson said.
A static display featuring up to 10 garments from the Eden Hore fashion collection, owned by the Central Otago District Council, will also form part of the WoolOn shows.
The judges are Marnie Kelly, of Alexandra, Ann Lyon, of Cromwell, and Simon Swale, of Dunedin.
WoolOn is held over two nights and tickets are still available for both evenings, Mr McPherson said. The Friday night event is a fashion show with all the entries modelled, while Saturday's gala evening includes the display of the entries, a cabaret and the announcement of award-winners.
''It promises to be a great evening,'' Mr McPherson said. WoolOn began as part of the New Zealand Merino Shears to showcase the use of wool in fashion. It was added to the Blossom Festival programme nine years ago.
The Otago Daily Times is the major sponsor of WoolOn this year. It sponsored the early years of WoolOn and two of its former staff members, Deirdre Mackenzie and Janice Millis, were instrumental in getting the fashion event started 11 years ago.
