Key points:
Brands are partnering with tech/innovation teams to create manufacturing processes that reduce environmental impact and raise craftsmanship. For example, modular garment design or fabrics with new bio-fabrication.
For a design-factory person: this means your factory’s “make” process (cut/sew/finish) is becoming a strategic differentiator — not just speed or cost.
It also means that finishing touches (like pressing a lapel, constructing a collar, achieving a clean shoulder line) can become selling points for “premium sustainable production”.
Why it matters to you:
As a factory designer you’re in a perfect spot to leverage this trend:
You can propose “premium finishing” processes (say for bespoke or semi-bespoke suits) that tell a sustainability + craftsmanship story.
You might explore fabrics/fibres that support the new wave of sustainable production — and adapt your manufacturing workflow accordingly.
Factories that can show both “we do fine craftsmanship” and “we do sustainable process” are going to win more requests.
