Gerard VAN GLABEKE

DISCOVERY BAY

En résumé

Mon parcours est lié à la recherche et au développement d'un concept, la création d'un objet usuel, à la mise en image des idées , des sens et des mots pour aboutir au design et à la réalisation d'un produit mode ou d'une collection.
Et autour du produit, du concept, de la marque, il y a nous et nos échanges, nous et nos différences, qu'elles soient culturelles, sociales, du cerveau gauche ou droit, nous et notre ego de créatif face aux exigences de la Production, des délais, du Marketing....
Me voici donc en Asie avec 25 années d'expérience dans le design, le développement et la production de maroquinerie, de sacs de voyage , sacs de Mode pour l'Homme, la Femme, l'enfant.
Du concept à l'expédition, passant par les étapes : charte graphique, prototype, recherche de matières, choix du fournisseur, coordination entre les fournitures et le lancement de la production, le contrôle de Qualité, et sans oublier l'Audit d'usine et l'application des nouvelles normes de sécurité.
