About Me |
|
| Bobette Stott founded (alternative)DesignSource 15 years ago, offering Design and Production expertise. Specializing in textiles like Bamboo, Soy and Modal; Stott has designed over 185 Seasonal Collections purchased by retailers that include Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Dillard's and Federated; along with Specialty Boutiques throughout the US and Canada. Stott scouts Trends and Resources around the globe, and regularly visits Mainland China, Hong Kong, Paris, London and Milan. Stott was an early adopter to the “designer as conduit” between disciplines. Designing Furniture, Accessories and Bedding. She added Interiors as Clients began requesting their Workspaces have the same Eco Friendly ideals as their Garment Collections. Stott graduated from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising after three years of Costuming for Television and Film. She studied at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Ms. Stott joined Woodbury University as part of the effort to merge academic ideals with an awareness of the frequently shifting global demands of the Apparel Industry. © 2007-08 (alternative)DesignSource, all content is copyrighted, all images are copyrighted or licensed rights.

Television:(alternative)DesignSource principal quoted in ForbesApril 3, 2008 After reading the PeopleMetrics study, retail expert Bobette Stott, Principal of DesignSource noted, "With the proliferation of buyouts and mega mergers within the Retail sector, both the customer and employee have become Corporate roadkill. As the (PeopleMetrics) study clearly points out, it requires engagement at every level to build and sustain market shares in this ever changing global economy." (alternative)DesignSource principal quoted in The Oklahoman Bamboo passes those tests, hands-down, said Bobette Stott, a Los Angeles-based clothing designer who also manufactures bamboo at Stott Innovative DesignWorks. Stott says that as China continues to boom with exports, so will bamboo, which is one of China's oldest and largest commodities. "With the marriage of our demand for environmentally friendly products and their push as a global leader in the world supply chain — the timing couldn't be better," Stott said. "As the trend continues to trickle down, I believe you will see more and more bamboo products at all price points, unlike organics, as the fiber can be manufactured in a variety of ways, to suit a multitude of consumer price demands."

Books:(alternative)DesignSource principal quoted in ReutersMarch 17, 2008 Retail expert Bobette Stott, Principal of DesignSource said, "Retailers of all types would benefit immensely from the PeopleMetrics study, as the customer is no longer king and employees are viewed as a liability not an asset." |
