We believe the technology will substantially shorten the time between a designer finishing a sketch and creating a pattern for this sketch, freeing up time to spend on the more creative aspects of the fashion design process.

Run by a team with combined expert knowledge of both fashion design and AI engineering, we aim to define a new fashion design model which will be proven through research and prototyping, leading to developing the idea towards a commercial ready prototype.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
