Using 3D fashion design software and smart design to create commercial upcycled clothing

时尚业的排放量占全球的10%，超过了航空业和航运业的总和。时尚业需要扩展新的商业模式，将收入与销售更多新产品脱钩。WRI的一份报告指出，在可再生能源效率、创新材料使用和可持续实践的扩展之后，需要这些新的商业模式来解决仍将存在的40%的排放。我们的项目将采用报废服装并使用CLO来创造可商业规模的新产品。CLO是一个3D时装设计软件程序，使用尖端模拟技术创建虚拟的、逼真的服装可视化。CLO使我们能够绕过耗时的动手制作原型阶段，专注于使用智能设计来创建可获得最多可用纹理的图案。与新产品相比，升级产品在颜色和纺织品表面上的变化自然更大，因此CLO将使我们的品牌合作伙伴能够在逼真的环境中快速预览这些设计，并对他们批准的产品有清晰的洞察力。重要的是，图案的设计将使最终产品能够在不同的制造地点用不同的颜色和面料反复生产。

The fashion industry, accountable for 10% of global emissions and more than aviation and shipping combined, needs to scale new business models that decouple revenue from selling more new products. A WRI report states that these new business models are needed to tackle 40% of the emissions that will still remain after advances in renewable energy efficiency, innovative material usage and scaling sustainable practices.Our project will take end-of-life clothing and use CLO to create new products that can be commercially scaled. CLO is a 3D fashion design software program that creates virtual, true-to life garment visualization with cutting-edge simulation technologies. CLO enables us to bypass the time-consuming hands-on prototyping stage and focus on using smart design to create patterns that harvest the most amount of usable textiles.Upcycled products naturally vary more in colour and textile finish compared to new products so CLO will enable our brand partners to quickly preview these designs in a true-to life environment and have clear insight as to the products they are approving. Importantly, the patterns will be designed as such to enable the final products to be produced over and over again with different colours and fabrics and in different manufacturing locations.
