“…As three-dimensional imaging and virtual prototyping technologies have become cheaper, easier to use, and able to produce higher quality onscreen visuals, these applications have increasingly entered into the fashion industry: software such as "Clo-3D" allows practitioners to edit and create patterns while displaying life-like renderings of resultant garments on an onscreen figure. Today, a designer or pattern cutter using Clo-3D or "Modaris 3D Fit" software -the latter developed by the French company Lectra -can create an avatar of a scanned individual, develop garments draped onto their virtual body, and generate a pattern which can then be sent to print or to an automated cutting machine 8 (Surville 2010;Lectra.com 2018). While digital methods may not be as tactile and intuitive as physically draping on the stand to create a toile (prototype); combined with more traditional approaches they can resolve problems of grading, sizing and fit (for example by removing the necessity of undertaking a fitting in person).…”

The fashion industry is experiencing structural change as new manufacturing and distribution technologies emerge. Simultaneously, the environmental impact of garment production and the sector's record on workers' rights provokes increasing disquiet. This article explores how new technologies for distributing and making clothes interact with a shifting industrial policy agenda as neoclassical and neoliberal economic paradigms lose their dominance, and state intervention becomes fashionable again.Contemporary ready-to-wear production, which relies on manufacturing goods speculatively in hope that they will meet consumers' needs, is massively wasteful, and the sector has experienced a series of shocks as established brands fail to correctly anticipate demand. Online-bespoke -in which garments are made to the specifications of the customer -has emerged as a promising sector. In changing how we buy and produce garments, can we transform how we value our clothes, the resources from which they are composed, and how we value the people who make them?This article argues that in order to reap the benefits of new and disruptive technologies, national governments and multilateral organizations must develop industrial strategies to shift current market incentives. Protections for fledgling sustainable and technologically innovative fashion brands, along with Pigovian taxation (taxation targeting negative externalities like pollution), are required to transform the industry.

The clothing industry is currently focused on 3D virtual fitting. Many companies use size 12 as the core size; however, in recent years the average size has increased. For example, in the United Kingdom, the average size is now 16. Many companies have not updated their core size and often use size 12 as the size they are the most familiar with. The purpose of this paper is to compare real plus size body shapes with artificial avatars in relation to the fabric draping. This paper will investigate, how the body shape changes with an age (body height decreases, skin elasticity is lower, the shoulders are hunched, buttocks sag and fatness pockets are accumulated around the waist area). These factors are not considered in virtual avatars, but have a big impact on virtual fitting.

“…Work is currently under way to try to predict the distribution of muscle mass based on a sample of scans [9,10]. Scanning a person therefore enables apparel professionals to try on garments virtually, and to have complete confidence in this 3D process [11].…”

Being the true clones of real humans-regardless if they have been body-scanned or built from scratch-, 3D avatars are getting more attention in the fashion industry, thanks to the development of virtual try-on. With increased confidence in the virtual representation of reality (human body, garment and fabrics), fashion designers and pattern makers now work collaboratively. The 3D representation of a garment on a 3D avatar is now the base of discussion between professionals with different technical backgrounds and vocabulary-before a single piece of fabric is cut and assembled! Thanks to body-scanning capabilities, the numerous postures of a 3D avatar can facilitate the development of styles and collections. A demanding consumer can now literally give his/her own avatar-his/her body-scan-for apparel professionals to adjust garments to his/her own morphology. The 3D avatar is at center stage, boosting virtual try-ons. The lecturer will present how the 3D representation of postures, garment pieces, and fabrics are crucial in making informed decisions, before a garment is produced. Both ready-to-wear and made-to-measure market segments will benefit from a 3D-based enhanced collaboration between fashion designers and pattern makers.
