KEY LEARNINGS
“At The Interline, we're 100% focused on technology, 100% of the time, because we believe that fashion is going to be defined by technology in the future.”
“Fashion is the core essence of self expression and creativity. However it's also stuck. Stuck in terms of how it works, and in terms of traditions. I believe it has a lot to gain by working smarter, and technology for me is the key for unlocking all of that.”
“When you design in 3D to begin with, you get a 3D asset that allows not just the creatives, but also the people who commercialize it to make a bunch of different choices based on a digital representation product instead of needing to make countless numbers of samples and prototypes.”
“Data is the primary currency for transparency.”
“You have to change the way you work to go with the new tools.”
