💡 Welcome to Forward-Thinking Friday! Each week, we bring you visionary insights from the brightest minds shaping the future of fashion and technology. 💡 #ForwardThinkingFriday is where innovation meets inspiration – a weekly dose of wisdom from the thought leaders who are revolutionizing our industry. 💡 Stay tuned every Friday for game-changing perspectives that inspire action and spark conversation. 💭✨ 💡Our first insight comes from our very own Ton Wiedenhoff on the experience of 3D Next LVL 3.0, where industry giants like Adidas, Etam, and BERSHKA shared unprecedented behind-the-scenes strategies (including how BERSHKA achieved a 10% reduction in returns through innovative processes). This spirit of open collaboration created a powerful learning environment where brands of all sizes could share both successes and setbacks, fostering collective growth across the industry. May we carry this kind of ideation into 2025! #FashionTech #FashionInnovation #ThoughtLeadership #FutureOfFashion #FashionTechnology #AlvanonInsights

Fast Fashion's Digital Revolution: The Bershka Breakthrough How Bershka turned a pandemic challenge into a retail revolution, slashing returns by 10% and redefining the future of garment design. Bershka's groundbreaking journey has been a highlight of 2024, with Alvanon proudly serving as a platform to showcase their transformative work. By featuring their success story at both 3D Tech Fest and 3D Next LVL 3.0, we hope to spotlight how their innovative approach isn't just revolutionizing their own operations – it's setting a new standard for sustainability across the fashion industry. Their willingness to share their findings openly has created a ripple effect, demonstrating how digital transformation can lead to concrete improvements in reducing waste and returns, while paving the way for a more sustainable future in fashion. A little bit about Bershka (Part of the INDITEX Group): Bershka pioneered 3D garment development within their organization, starting six years ago with just two licenses and no experience. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated their digital transformation, leading them to develop a dedicated team that focused on creating accurate digital representations using Alvanon avatars and precise fabric simulations. Their pragmatic approach of prioritizing accuracy over aesthetics proved successful, resulting in approximately 10% fewer customer returns and making them the leader in return rate reduction within the INDITEX group! Bravo Bershka!

We definitely Leveled UP last week!! 🎚️📈💡 The 3D Next LVL 3.0 Conference in Amsterdam was absolutely chock-full of valuable content and discussion. To produce this event, we partnered with IAF: International Apparel Federation, Amsterdam Fashion Institute, and Hochschule Albstadt Sigmaringen for 2 days of presentations. No sales pitches or sponsors -- just experts sharing and inciting meaningful discussions. Content from the jam-packed two days included: an exclusive presentation from adidas, a presentation and conversation with Bershka re: how they reduced returns, manufacturing success stories from MAS Holdings, digital fabrics discussion with Sensitive® Fabrics by Eurojersey, MOMOSSTUDIO SRL and Vizoo GmbH. And also featured some universally loved brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, bonprix, Pentland Brands-Speedo, and Etam. "It is this kind of authentic, open dialogue that drives our industry forward. Instead of listening to sales pitches, 3D Next LVL was about presenting grounded, truthful experiences so people see the benefit of sharing, and move better." – Ton Wiedenhoff; Executive Director- Europe; Alvanon A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at 3D Next LVL 3.0 for engaging in that dialogue and our industry partners for supporting these types of events that move our industry forward. See you at the next one! All photos by Willem de Kam #alvanon #3DNextLevel #digitalfabrics #fashionconference
