Stylezone and VStitcher for a collaborative workflow

The fashion industry is constantly evolving, and designers must keep up with the latest trends to stay ahead of the competition. However, designing a new garment can be a complex process that requires collaboration among various team members, from designers to pattern makers to product managers and merchandisers. This is where VStitcher and Stylezone come into play, providing a collaborative workflow that streamlines the design and production process.

How to make the most of these tools?

Create your style request in Stylezone
The process begins by creating a style request in Stylezone, where you can add all the relevant information needed to start, such as measurement charts and color palettes. The annotation tool can be used to provide clear instructions to designers and pattern makers about the next steps. This makes the work easier for all team members, who can stay on the same page and work towards the design intent.

Assign the work to pattern makers
The pattern maker can then download the file from Stylezone and make any necessary garment adjustments. Once ready, the garment can be uploaded to Stylezone using the “Share to Stylezone” function. By selecting “Save and upload BW file,” all team members can access the same file, allowing them to communicate through a single source of truth. The “Optimize BW file size” option also reduces file size while maintaining image and texture quality, significantly speeding up rendering times. VStitcher provides predefined quality standards that generate cropped cover images and a 3D object file for the 3D viewer.

Review and provide feedback to designers
After reviewing the garment on Stylezone, you can provide additional annotations to the designer using the annotation tool. They can download the file and make the necessary changes before uploading the new version to Stylezone.

Upload and review the latest version on Stylezone
The “add resources to the current version” option creates a new version in addition to the previous one, allowing team members to keep track of all the different garment variants created during the process. By using the versioning feature in Stylezone, all team members can see the various versions of the garment that have been created during the process.

Collaborate with Miro Board
Finally, the integration of Stylezone and Miro Board allows for seamless sharing of all style-related information with the entire team, fostering a highly collaborative environment. This feature ensures that all team members are well-informed throughout the entire design process, with the ability to modify the status of styles, provide feedback, and communicate any necessary changes. As a result, all stakeholders can stay updated, making the process of creating collections more efficient and effective.
