In The Europeana Fashion of.. we explore the unique role of each partner in the Europeana Fashion project. In this edition, an interview with Emmanuelle Beuvin, documentation manager at Les Arts Décoratifs collections mode et textile (LAD) in Paris.

How would you describe your institution’s role in the Europeana Fashion project?
LAD fulfills in the French cultural landscape a unique role to showcase the skills of craftsmen down the centuries, the evolution of styles, technological innovation and the creativity of artists. Extending this role, LAD will provide to the portal fashion-related digital objects, ranging from historical dresses to contemporary garments,  accessories, drawings, representing the French fashion heritage. Users will benefit from the most outstanding and rich materials coming from LAD. Besides providing content, LAD will also contribute to the fashion thesaurus, providing a French translation for the terms in the thesaurus

What aspect of Europeana Fashion are you most excited about?
To make fashion heritage accessible on the Internet means that collections can be used and re-used for education and research and by the cultural heritage, leisure and creative industries.

How do you think Europeana Fashion will contribute to awareness of fashion heritage?
Europeana Fashion will make Europe’s fashion heritage more available and usable online. Europeana Fashion will provide direct access to objects in a database fed by the digital fashion archives of 22 partners in 12 European countries.

What is your future vision of digitization and fashion heritage?
Digitization will offer fashion heritage to users wherever they are and whenever they want it. Mobile devices such as phones and tablet computers provide seamless access to cultural portals on the web. Sharing information and reusing data in an unlimited way is a great perspective for users that will facilitate creativity, social cohesion and the democratization of culture in general. Additionally, digital information also requires authoritative sources and high quality content. The Europeana Fashion aggregator facilitates knowledge transfer of huge amounts of data from trusted sources as the Europeana fashion partners represent Europe’s leading fashion institutions.

What is your favorite object in the LAD collection and why?
My favorite object is a navy blue sweater by Elsa Schiaparelli, made of knitted jacquard wool, because of the fantasy of the “trompe l’oeil” bow.
