Welcome and thank you for tuning in - today we have the pleasure of talking with Sharon Crowson, founder of the Design Archives, who's beautiful printed fabrics adorn luxury interiors worldwide.
With a lifetime's experience, Sharon discusses design, print and what it takes to succeed in the Furnishings Industry... In our fast paced world we increasingly need online digital access to our textile design resources - Sharon Crowson and her team have achieved just that and alongside her own international Designer brand "The Design Archives" which retails fabrics worldwide - she is also the custodian of the Crowson archive which holds many historic treasured documents and vintage designs which are now available for licensing.
SO LET'S FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE DESIGN ARCHIVE WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BUSINESS AND THE CROWSON TEXTILE HISTORY.
We talk about:
Digitising the design process – how has this been implemented, what’s the scale of the project and how does it change design sourcing? What services do customers now need and how is the Design Archive utilised?
Exploring the Opportunities – What are the benefits and new market/product opportunities? How does digital technology unlock creativity and the future of Design on Demand?
The Supply Chain – and for anybody that's new to the industry Sharon shares her advice to all creatives or young brands just starting out in the Textile Industry?
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BEHIND THE SCENES AND LEARN HOW TEXTILES TICK!!
