Abstract:
Following our 2024 call to action at 3DBODY.TECH, we return with a major milestone: securing an Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) grant via the University of Manchester to develop The Digital Tailor.
Forged at the intersection of a 36-year global fashion transformation career and a personal experience with differently enabled needs following a 21-day covid-19 coma, our approach flips traditional sizing on its head: clothing must adapt to the person, not the other way around.
Technology can measure a body, but it cannot understand what it feels like to live in one. The Digital Tailor is not merely a scanner or fitting app - it is an empathetic, personal parametric pipeline that turns complex human geometries into regional, made-on-demand engineered clothing.
Born from adaptive fashion, this platform unlocks an untapped $18 Trillion annual global market - enabling brand and tech partners to capture the 'Purple Pound' alongside adjacent sectors like petite and plus-size fashion.
Join us to explore how evolving from static sizing to dynamic digital tailoring creates massive financial value for tech and brand partners while restoring dignity, self expression and choice to fashion.
