Inclusive design principles prioritize the creation of products that can be used by as many people as possible, regardless of their abilities. Applying these principles to adaptive apparel involves considering factors like comfort, ease of use, adjustability, and versatility. For example, incorporating features like magnetic closures, adjustable waistbands, or sensory-friendly fabrics allows individuals to easily put on and take off garments, while also addressing their specific requirements.

Business development in the apparel industry today involves navigating a complex and highly competitive landscape. The industry is constantly evolving, driven by changing consumer preferences, technological advancements, and global economic shifts.

We often work with start-ups and companies new to fashion or who are new in creating wearables in medical or tech. When working with such clients there is an educational component involved. Often the product development process is the source of many questions, and some questions we often receive are around fit sessions. What are fit sessions? Why are they necessary? Can I develop a product without them?

The intersection of design and functional design in apparel refers to the balance between aesthetic apparel and practical functionality in clothing design. It aims to create clothing that not only looks good, but also performs well and serves the specific needs of the wearer.

Technical Designers help turn a design into a tangible scalable product. Often working from a design sketch, the technical designer ensures construction, patterns, molds, material selection, cost, fit, function, support, aesthetics, and material usage are captured in a product and then properly graded to all sizes in the determined size range.

The term "innovation" gets thrown around quite frequently by people, companies, and brands. All vying for attention. But what is the definition? Our definition, is the process of taking an idea, applying it, scaling it, and communicating it in a way that resonates with the target consumer. It is the fundamental way a company adapts and evolves to stay relevant. The consumer must see, touch, or feel the innovation and perceive its added value or it is not a real solution.
