In contrast, the apparel industry is rapidly accelerating in its adoption of new technologies and best practices from other industries. While outsourcing product development can be a best practice, a resource many other industries have successfully utilized, apparel brands still have a slow acceptance rate of this best practice. Why?

We are often asked how we evolved into creating integrated wearable devices. This evolution is easily understood when you consider our depth of knowledge of the human body, fit, and biomechanics coupled with the decades of product knowledge of complex garments we have created. Stepping into the integration of technology such as displays, sensors, and processors into clothing to create smart garments that further enhance consumer's lives was a natural stepping stone.

As we all know, 3D technology has greatly impacted the field of garment design with an acceleration in the past few years, offering designers and technical designers a new level of flexibility and precision in their designs and product iterations.
