Fashion Tech Applied (eBook)

Provide a more tactile experience for your customers, who won't even need to physically visit stores while optimizing conventional production processes and eradicating the tenuous tasks that nobody really likes to do. Reevaluate all parts of the value chain.  You'll see the ways technology has been used by fashion brands so far within design, production, marketing, and retail. Then discover the market opportunity that technologies such as 3D printing, augmented reality, and more bring into the chain. Challenge the ways in which you implement basic functions in your own practices. Despite the dominance of brick & mortar stores, digital platforms have emerged to pave the way for more diverse retail experiences with the adoption of technology in the fashion industry.

We're talking about more than just online shopping. Tap into NFTs, online fitting rooms, and tech solutions for better customer acquisition and increased sales. Fashion tech is more than just clothing covered in LEDs. It is the adoption of value chain optimizations, customer experience enhancing tools, and advanced operations management into existing business models. When taken seriously by the industry, it will be the future of how we all sell and purchase our products and interact with them. With a particular focus on apparel, each section of this book will put a lens on the existing conventions practiced in the industry at all stages of the value chain and how the help of technology could completely transform fashion for a more cost efficient, sustainable and time efficient industry.

Use augmented reality, virtual reality, NFTs, body scanning, 3D design, and more to completely revolutionize how you approach fashion. Both as a consumer and as an amazing designer!

Who This Book Is For

Decision makers in fashion corporate companies and emerging fashion brands wondering how to innovate in the saturated fashion market, as well as, fashion students with an interest in building the future of fashion. No prior technology knowledge is needed.

Von N. Ruzive began chasing fashion tech before she even knew it would be a thing. She's journeyed from being a young fashion designer exploring the ways in which customers could better envision how her fashion designs would be worn, through frustration of the usual sketches and images not being able to do the trick. Of course the classic video was an option but would not fully illustrate the state of innovation of the garments. This was key to demonstrating her unconventional designs of zip openings in unconventional places on the garments to increase wearability for all women including those with disabilities-something she continues to work on along with teaching 3D printing & laser cutting and leading the partnerships department at a fashion tech venture studio in Paris. All of which have picked her brain in this field of fashion tech.
