Ashley Sandall is one of the most experienced partnerships experts I have had the pleasure of speaking to. From interning at PRADA, to working across enviable partnerships initiatives at American Express, to now as the Director of Strategic Partnerships at the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America), Ashley's insight into the world of collaborations is second to none!
In our chat, Ashley talks about the power of collaborations, for small business and emerging designers, as well as how ideas bloom through understanding leverage opportunities in a collaboration.
The CFDA is instrumental in organising New York Fashion Week, as well as supporting over 400 American designers via funding, networks, education & partnerships.
I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did!
