Jenny commented: “Thank-you to Style3D for asking me to be a guest speaker at the Drapers Future of Fashion event. 

“This was a new type of networking event and it was based on a roundtable discussion. The conference was well attended with retailers such as Next, M&S, Asda alongside leading suppliers. 

“The discussions flowed well with an honest debate on how garment technologists can really embrace 3D but sometimes there can be reticence from the buyers who, understandably, want to feel handle.  

“Many conclusions were reached, not least the more 3D is used both in design and fit then confidence will be built! We’re looking forward to our collaborative relationship with Style3D and will reveal more on this soon.”
