From the development of the sewing machine to the emergence of e-commerce, fashion has always been at the forefront of innovation. Fashion, like technology, is forward-thinking and revolutionary.
Experts also suggest that the fashion industry is one of the world’s largest, with a market value of more than $3 trillion by the end of the decade. And today, fashion technology like the 3D virtual fitting rooms is evolving at a quicker rate than ever before.
A variety of technologies highlight how technology is automating, customizing, and speeding up the fashion arena, including robots that know sewing and cut fabric. AI algorithms of today can anticipate style trends, and outfits that can be worn in virtual reality.
Let’s take a look at how the industry is evolving!
Product Design
Technology is being used by fashion firms of all sizes and specializations to identify and anticipate market demand and respond quickly with fashionable designs and personalized trends. Artificial intelligence will change the way firms approach product development and design, with an emphasis on forecasting what customers will want to wear next.
However, algorithms will not be able to take the position of human designers anytime soon. If fashion houses’ efforts have taught us anything, it’s that human engagement is essential for harnessing AI insights and converting them into appealing, wearable garments.
AI Will Be The Design Partner
Google has already ventured into user-driven AI fashion design with Project Muze, a 2016 experiment it ran in collaboration with Zalando, a German fashion portal.
The research used Google’s Fashion Trends Report as well as Zalando’s design and trend data to train a neural network to grasp textures, colors, body measurement tech, style preferences, and other “aesthetic characteristics.”
Further, there are others like Amazon in the race too!
3D Printing Will Venture Into Fashion
3D printing is a cutting-edge fashion technology that is rapidly transforming the industry. As soon as 3D printers became popular, many fashion firms, both retail and luxury, began looking for ways to make use of their various capabilities to fulfill on-demand apparel creation. Fashion has fully embraced technology, with numerous firms using 3D printing to make sustainable and personalized accessories, jewelry, and clothing.
While 3D printing takes longer than traditional production, it creates less waste and needs less manpower. Apart from being a glamorous technical benefit for the fashion industry, 3D printing is proven to be a clever means of restructuring present production units and making them more ecologically friendly.
3D Fitting Rooms
Among the other future trends which continue to take shape, the 3D virtual fitting room has been a revolution that is already in practice! Users can make the most of their living experience using a 3D tech that helps them decide what they want to buy and whatnot.
This way, users will be able to make the most of their purchases, significantly reducing the cart abandonment rates as well.
Bottom Line
Given the significance of technology in the industry, it’s clear that everything around us is evolving! Therefore, with all the features and functionalities in place, how ready are you?
