Our R&D
and Innovation

The integration of 3D technology into the fashion industry is revolutionizing the pattern development, tailoring, and design process.

This advancement paves the way for a more efficient and personalized approach to fashion, ultimately leading to on-demand clothing based on a personal avatar. This also leads to a reduction in the number of samples needed to be produced, reducing costs, sample shipping, and more. (Priority in sustainability)

Research and Development

In today's fast-paced and competitive markets innovation is no longer a choice, it's a necessity.

Here's why and how we are investing in R&D, the key to our shared growth and success.

Trend-driven research and product development

The strength and success of our final performance for clients and consumers result from seamless cooperation throughout the entire supply chain. Sharing the same DNA of premium quality, responsibility, social engagement, trust, and lasting relationships has made our suppliers in trimmings, accessories, and fabrics our most valuable partners.

Agile Product
Development Process

Cross-functional Teams: Form smaller, multi-disciplinary teams combining design, materials experts, supply chain, and production staff to foster collaboration and speed up the development cycle.
Rapid Prototyping: Utilize 3D modeling, digital sampling, and prototyping to reduce sample production costs and time. Tool, a 3D style program which is able to be converted with all other programs allows designers to visualize and tweak designs digitally before creating physical samples.
Lean Development: Implement a lean process where new products are tested in smaller batches before being scaled for mass production.
With 3D technology, 3D body scanning on the avatars of clients that accurately reflect their body shapes. Virtual fitting before sample making and checking the position of detail to reduce many physical prototype of samples. Supporting Design innovation.

Global Collaboration and Decentralized Teams

Virtual Design Teams: R&D teams from Global own part in USA, UK, and Korea to collaborate seamlessly through virtual design tools and project management platforms to ensure that design ideas, feedback, and development stages can be shared and refined globally in real-time.
Local Market Adaptation: Research and develop region-specific collections by understanding local fashion trends, climate, and cultural preferences.

Fast-to-market approach

Shortened Development Cycles: Use technologies like AI-driven to show all of color/design detail change options, and show variable projects to make the right decision to customers.

Made-to-measure and
on-demand production

The ultimate goal of integrating 3D technology in fashion is to achieve a made-to-measure and on-demand production model. By leveraging 3D body scans and avatars, designers can create garments that are customized to fit each individual perfectly. This personalized approach not only enhances customer satisfaction but also promotes sustainability by reducing overproduction and inventory waste.

On-demand production is facilitated by digital patterns and virtual prototypes, which can be quickly modified and sent to production as soon as an order is placed. This system minimizes the need for large inventories and allows for a more responsive supply chain that can adapt to changing consumer demands. As a result, fashion companies can offer a wider variety of styles and sizes without the risk of unsold stock.

Design
Innovation

3D technology has also expanded the creative possibilities in fashion design. Designers can experiment with complex structures, intricate details, and innovative materials in a virtual environment. The ability to visualize and manipulate garments in 3D encourages experimentation without the constraints of traditional design methods. Additionally, 3D printing technology allows for the creation of unique and customizable accessories, embellishments, and even entire garments, further pushing the boundaries of fashion design.

Fitting Engineering

Fitting engineering is another area where 3D technology has made significant strides. The use of 3D avatars allows designers to simulate how a garment will fit and move on a person before it is physically produced. This virtual fitting process can identify and rectify any issues with fit and comfort, such as tightness, looseness, or improper alignment of seams. By addressing these issues in the virtual stage, designers can ensure a better fit and enhance the wearer's comfort and mobility. This pre-production testing reduces the need for multiple physical prototypes, speeding up the design process and cutting costs.

3D Technology
in Pattern Development

Traditionally, pattern development in fashion has been a meticulous process involving manual measurements, drafting, and adjustments. With the advent of 3D technology, this process has been transformed. Using 3D body scanning, designers can create precise digital avatars of their clients. These avatars capture every contour and dimension of the human body with remarkable accuracy, ensuring that the patterns developed are tailored to fit perfectly. This method reduces the time and labor involved in manual adjustments and significantly minimizes material waste.
