MOORDESIGN - The Design Salon

MOORDESIGN - The design salon balances both sides of creative + industry for our associates. Designed to inspire, please and educate, to share information and exchange knowledge; a forum for creative expression and exhibition for visual artists, designers/designer-makers, writers, fashionistas and creative business owners in the Creative Industries.

Working in association with UNTOLD and the London Design Festival at The V&A, we place our focus in this salon session on Fashion. We are presenting a series of panel sessions inviting industry experts and successful practitioners to explore issues and provide tips and solutions to the challenges that new and emerging Fashion design talent may encounter when handling the business side of their creativity.

Fashion Panel 1 will explore
Protecting my creativity - the importance of copyright and design rights. Followed by Q&A

With our panel of experts, we aim to present you with a basic but essential toolkit of tips and self-help strategies as well as providing answers to questions like

-- I have a got a market stall at a designer-maker market, how do I protect my designs from being intellectually copied and ripped off?

-- What are my rights when I create designs for a company that I have an internship with or volunteering for?

Copyright and design rights are important because designers can create wealth by successfully exploiting (marketing), licensing and selling these rights. To find out how, come and join us

Fashion Panel 2 will explore
Who provides support for fashion design talent - creatively & financially; Coaching and mentoring explained. Followed by Q&A

A historical influence
For the concept of MOORDESIGN as a design salon, Creative Fruits draws its inspiration from the historically famous philosophical and literary gatherings of the 17th and 18th century in Parisian society where men and women sought to increase their knowledge through conversations and readings. They evolved into a place of enlightenment where the exchange of news, ideas and knowledge flourished and importantly functioned as a major channel of communication among intellectuals, artists, writers, and progressive thinkers. Its focus typically centred on the literary arts but also covered art, fashion, business and politics.
