This event brought together 36 teachers and directors from 21 fashion schools and universities in China, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK and Switzerland.
The conference provided a forum for participants from schools, universities, major customers and Lectra to exchange ideas, explore teaching methods and schools' projects, share Lectra’s latest developments, and discuss challenges faced by fashion manufacturers.
Lectra's specialists presented the company’s fashion product lifecycle management technology, along with the new Lectra Fashion PLM V2R1 solution during the two-day event. Meanwhile, representatives from Esmod Paris and the Istituto Secoli de Milan explained how Modaris ExpertPro Lectra's advanced pattern-making solution has been integrated into its training curricula. London-based designer Maria Grachvogel also attended the seminar to share her experiences. Using her own creations as examples, she explained how Lectra’s Kaledo and Modaris can be used to accelerate not only style but also print design. This point was reiterated by several schools such as Central Michigan University, Hong Kong Polytechnic and York Saint John University.
At the end of the conference, Nannet van der Kleijn, creative director at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, said: “This event includes a great mix of creativity, innovation and technique and has been an extremely constructive exchange and sharing of experience. Presentations from companies as different as Decathlon and Maria Grachvogel have underlined the diversity of our market and have shown that Lectra's solutions meet a wide range of needs.”
