Lectra says new Kaledo version elevates design “to its proper place”

Enhanced yarn shading options give designers control over individual colours in any given yarn, allowing them to develop realistic yarn and fabric simulations. Designers can also have a structured way to share information on designs that have been created with custom yarns and patterns. In addition, technical reports are more powerful, adding new dynamic features that update fabric specifications automatically, eliminating inaccuracy issues.
Recent shifts in consumer spending habits “reflect a more discerning public that has learned to make choices in a challenging economic context”, Lectra said at the time of the launch. For fashion companies this means finding new ways to stand out through unique design, while also balancing business objectives and production constraints. Lectra’s textile design suite was developed to give designers the flexibility to experiment across fabrics while meeting business-side challenges.
“Design and innovation are the essential ways companies can stand out from the competition today. The newest version of Kaledo meets the absolutely fundamental need for fast time to market and product quality, while at the same time elevating design to its proper place as a strategic force for brand success,” said Lectra chief executive, Daniel Harari.
