Fashion and Apparel
The fashion industry has been a pioneer in design and technology advancement. The software available is contantly developing and evolving and for over 35 years VetiGraph has been at the forefront of this technology.
How to tackle the fashion industry’s challenges and disruptions.
Fashion and apparel design, manufacture and retail are key sectors for revenue and employment worldwide. The UK alone is a major employer, with a reported 500,000 jobs in around 30,000 businesses said to depend on the fashion and textile industry. These workers are involved in fashion retail, design and manufacturing. But at the same time, the sector faces complex challenges and consumers are displaying new sets of priorities. Demand and sales patterns are not as stable as they used to be and retailers are forced to react with more flexibility.
Why Digital Fashion?
CAD means Computer Aided Design. Traditionally pattern cutters worked with a variety of tools, paper and card to create their patterns, and many still do. In recent years, we have seen these processes becoming digital, using 2D and 3D design, modelling and virtual sampling. The hand tools traditionally used are now replicated in the software with many additional, time saving, options as well.
Environmental sustainability has become a dominating feature of fashion consumers’ agenda. Sustainable production is fast becoming a priority for retailers, designers and manufacturers. Meanwhile, cost pressures such as freight and raw materials weigh increasingly on supply chains which have become more complex.
Digitalisation, 2D and 3D design, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are now key factors in unlocking growth in the sector.
Our systems are trusted by leading apparel companies including:
