\nThe Collier-Campbell Archive<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nLast week I spoke to the talents of fashion designer Oscar
\nde la Renta.  We are familiar with those
\nwho create \u201cthe look\u201d but often we forget that there is another group of
\ndesigners vital to the creation of fabric, be it for clothing, home furnishings
\nor accessories, even industrial applications. 
\nThese are the designers that create the fabric patterning.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nToday computerization has taken many tasks that were
\npreviously laboriously performed in the textile industry.  While design studios rely heavily upon
\ncomputer programs, there is, or should always be space for designers to paint,
\nsketch and imprint their artist\u2019s hand in the design.  <\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n I recently purchased
\nan amazing reference, The Collier- Campbell Archive.  This beautiful volume tells the story of two sisters, Sarah
\nCampbell and Susan Collier and their 50 year career in fabric design.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nTheir career began designing for collections for Liberty,
\nDavid Hayward and Jack Prince, and became design and color consultants for
\nother design studios.  In the late
\n1970\u2019s the sisters founded Collier and Campbell in order to control their
\ndesign rights and the quality of the fabric and printing.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTheir story is told in three parts:  The Collier-Campbell Story (their history),
\nThe Creative Process (their methods and themes) and The Gallery (their designs
\nand patterns).<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe color plates throughout are stunning and offer
\ninspiration for any student of design, artist or textile lover. <\/span><\/div>\n

\n If you get the
\nopportunity to peruse this collection you will understand my enthusiasm.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
