Hello... (this is kind of directed more towards Lena since she wrote it as something she does in the How to be a Stylist thread, but I think it might be useful so I will post it here.)
Anyone know what is a fabric consultant?
Is it the same as a trend consultant? Would you be sent to the Premiere Fabric Salon in Paris to do research on the upcoming trends in textiles?
Or is it also a kind of designer who works with the head fashion designer. Like the fashion designer can do the pattern drafting and the textiles consultant/designer will research prints and weaves to go with the fashion designer's idea.
I was watching a short interview with Lucinda Chambers while she was working with Marni for s/s '06--she was saying how they were looking at a collection of printed fabric scraps for inspiration... Lucinda's a stylist, so I don't know what to think--but I've heard of "fabric stylist" and "image consultant" as well, so maybe it is the same thing.
I think, Lena, you didn't mention you studied textiles in school and rather studied Fashion Design instead, so I am wondering how you got into it.
