Fashion Made

This week we had the pleasure of speaking with with Lotta Jurica, Design Director at adidas. Lotta was fundamental to the implementation and success of 3D, even having 3rd party software named after her! We discuss the detail in their 3D journey ; how challenging it can be to create standardized ways of working at this giant of a company ; and how to leverage the fantastic talent working there. Hosted by David Wilcox.

In this week's episode, we speak with Lien Van de Velde who heads up innovation at the women's lingerie and swimwear company, Van de Velde. Famous for having a brilliant in-store experience, they have combined AR with digital twins of their bras to create a virtual try-on for their customers. This is unique to lingerie and we discuss the detail in bringing about such a big change to their business and the wider industry. Hosted by David Wilcox.

Jan Wilmking and Christian Baier are two of the Managing Directors at Z Labels / Zalando. As a 10 year old company, they are still relatively fresh faced in the market, but have experienced huge transformations throughout the company in recent times. We discuss the detail in their various digital journeys, what rewards are on offer, and how to find the right balance between data driven and gut driven decisions. Hosted by David Wilcox.

It's always fun chatting to Craig Crawford. His natural charisma is infectious, but he's also incredibly knowledgeable on a vast range of topics concerning apparel and retail. This week, we spoke about location based marketing, chat bots, ai, machine learning, and even squeezed in a few words about men wearing dresses. Why the hell not? Hosted by David Wilcox.

Sean Lane and Tim Devlin join us this week to discuss the much-used term 'innovation'. As two guys that have gone from working with apparel and footwear brands such as Nike and Columbia Sportswear, they have been involved in their fair share of innovation projects. Now working for Kaylpso as innovation consultants, they share some key insights as to what is required, when it's required and how to go about your innovation journey. Hosted by David Wilcox.

Gail Beban joins Fashion MADE for an in-depth discussion around the various ways 3D can help a company, placing great importance on the fact that companies must always focus on what they want 3D technology to do for them. She has been developing and implementing lean methodologies in apparel and footwear companies, most notably at a rather large sportswear manufacturer, so she knows what she's talking about. Hosted by David Wilcox.

We sat down with Soon Yu to dissect what it really takes to create an iconic brand. Rest assured, this doesn't have to mean global domination like Nike or Apple, we can all apply this strategy to our current product range, not to mention in our personal lives as well.

In his role as Head of the Innovation Agency at LCF, Matthew has the mandate of managing the experimentation and development of new ideas and advanced technologies within the fashion world. In this week's episode, we discuss some of the exciting applications of mixed reality and virtualisation technology that he has been involved with. A very informative discussion, hosted by David Wilcox.

In this week's episode, we catch up with Sylvia Heisel who runs a consultancy on 3D printing within fashion and apparel. On the agenda is how the apparel industry can utilise additive manufacturing to complement the other advanced technologies emerging within the industry, like sewbots and AI. Also, how people will use 3D printing once the machinery has evolved and how bioplastics will counteract the environmental damage of fast fashion. Hosted by David Wilcox.

A deep discussion on sustainability with Anderson Lee, Board Member at Sustainable Apparel Coalition. We cover how fashion can stop the fast route to becoming the no.1 polluting industry globally, as oil & gas move towards more renewable energy, highlighting how changing business models make a difference on the planet today.
