I am over the moon to have delivered the first Introduction to Fashion Textiles workshop in January 2022. Huge Thank you to all the fabulous delegates who made it what it was, interactive, friendly and valuable for all.
Due to the roaring success of the first one, I will be running my second 'An Introduction to Fashion Textiles' workshop in London on the 7th April 2022. As before the workshop, run by myself, deep dives into the whole textile supply chain, showing you how to navigate, source, manage and maximise efficiencies. Due to some valuable feedback, the workshop will be extended from 4 hours, to 6 hours with an hour for networking, as there was just too much great information to jam into the 4 hours.
Sue Carter, CARI founder and one of the delegates said,
“For start-up fashion brand founders, this is a 'must do' to guide you in navigating all things fabric. The workshop delivers such a thorough overview on fabrics, mills, production and how to procure, and I left armed with a new confidence and knowledge to navigate the fabric market. I learned a lot from Ciara's expertise and years of experience and highly recommend the course.”
The workshop specifically aimed at fashion professionals, fashion start-ups and graduates who want to deepen their fabric knowledge covered a whole host of topics from fabric compositions, weave structures, finishes, how to source fabrics and critical path management, to fabric testing, problem solving and what to do when things go wrong in the supply chain. To demonstrate this I bring with me a whole bunch of fabrics, example reports, and tales from my time in the fashion fabric industry.
Andrea Treacy, Fabric & Trim Buyer at leading fashion brand J I G S A W, commented,
“A great workshop for those wanting to explore all about the world of fabrics - a great insight for both textile students to those in the industry - I'm still learning after 35 years in the business! Thanks Ciara for setting up.” Jigsaw pride itself on responsibly sourcing the best fabrics to produce designer quality clothes but at high-street prices, so it’s great to have wonderful feedback like this."
