Digitalising Fashion for Sustainable Futures
For me, the end result was a bit of an anticlimax (looked like a bin-liner left too close to the radiator), but what do I know. Anyway, an interesting glimpse into the future of fitting and design. At the very least, the industry will minimise waste:

Interesting video, though I was expecting to see some kind of integration of 3D scanning, digital modeling, CAD pattern making, and digital simulation of the final bespoke garment.
Years ago I tried to learn Blender, a 3D design and rendering program that does some amazing things. I mention this because I can see how, in the future, a customer might walk into a bespoke tailor shop, and the tailor could use computerized measurements and patterns to reach the fitting stage sooner.
A customer could be 3D scanned in spandex, the exact digital model would be built, a digital pattern could be applied and adjusted as needed, and both the digitized customer and the garment could come together to see where further modifications could or might need to be made. This might sound crazy, bu it is possible to simulate the drape of a garment on a solid model and even see how the fabric reacts as the model moves.
There are lots of Blender tutorials on YouTube if you want to chec it out. This link will take you to a short video where a piece of fabric is draped over a metal sphere.
