Dian Austin opens new Couture business
Staff -- Home Accents Today, 7/1/2006
Textiles veteran Dian Austin has launched a new company, Dian Austin Couture Home.
Dian Austin Couture Home offers innovative designs with unique details for bedding, decorative pillows, throws and tabletop.
"I have created Dian Austin Couture Home to attract elite, fashion forward customers who desire to decorate their homes with sophisticated, elegant furnishings of superb luxury quality," Austin said. "I shall present my new collection on the highest level, elevating and distancing it from the standard luxury bedding lines available today."
Exclusive programs will be tailored for key retail, catalog and hospitality buyers as well as furniture manufacturers, showrooms and retail stores.
Joining the company is her husband Douglas Fencl, chief financial officer, who will oversee the financial and operational end of the business. Fencl was a partner in the Austin Horn Collection business until its sale in 2003.
Eva Radabaugh has been named executive vice president, sales & marketing. Radabaugh formerly held various positions for Austin Horn Collection from 1996–2004 as customer service manager, sales & marketing manager and corporate manager.
Dian Austin founded Austin Horn Collection, which she sold to the AR Group Inc. in 2003. Recently the assets were purchased through a bank sale by Pacific Coast Home Furnishings/Sherry Kline Bedding, California.
Dian Austin Couture Home is located in Oceanside, Calif.
