Fashion giants like Louis Vuittion and Nike have pivoted towards digital design, and with more than 2,200 brick and mortar stores expected to close in 2021, what’s your excuse?
Today the fashion industry is faced with a huge problem. Nobody can travel anymore. In the past fashion designers were illustrators, sketching designs out on paper they would then hand to a pattern maker or a technical flat layperson. This person would turn the illustrations into a technical flat lay document to send to the Factory. The designer would then fly to China to create the muslin fabric and have multiple fittings with the model back and forth. Factories would also have to FedEx samples, causing a huge carbon footprint. Now, because nobody can travel, the pattern makers and CGI artists who have high mathematical skills are becoming the new fashion designers. This is because the fashion houses are changing their workflow to 3D design. The fashion designers with 2D illustrator skills have lost their jobs, additionally, the cancellation of fashion weeks has given rise to the need to present their collections in a different way, many fashion designers are out of work because they don’t have the skills, brands end up suffering for it.
Fashion Week has been proclaimed dead by some and new forms of showcasing the designer’s collection are opening the door to virtual fashion. Many fashion designers and brands are struggling to embrace all these new technologies and ways of designing, showcasing and moving to a more on-demand manufacturing world. 3D design has become the single most important skill that is needed right now in the fashion industry and not enough students been taught in their fashion school how to work in that way or to work with the programs. This means they can’t evolve to take advantage of AR and VR 3D fashion shows or digital fashion week’s pre-vetting of designs with 3D models. The new customers which are millennials and gen z are leaving them behind and embracing the designers that have been able to work with gaming and digital, and cryptocurrency, effectively speaking their language.
