SGIA’s Garment Decoration Committee presents Tim Williams, the mastermind behind YR Store, as the keynote speaker at the Luncheon. YR is the brainchild of interactive digital specialists Luma, whose work includes digital store and event concepts for Nike, MTV and New Era. YR creates live garment print installations which feature interactive touch-pads, and a live all-over digital printing process, offering designers and the public the opportunity to create one-off patterns and prints and produce their work onto high-quality garments to take away within minutes. Additionally, attendees will enjoy roundtable discussions with experts from the SGIA Garment Decoration Committee.
