ICT and IPR in the Fashion Industry: A Survey of the Recent Trends - Nicola Matteucci (Univpm, Italy)
I present a compact review of the main IPR issues (challenges and opportunities) currently concerning the Fashion industry face to the ICT and digital media paradigm, within the on-going process of economic and
trade globalization.
International supply chain management in the Italian fashion industry - Andrea Perna (Univpm, Italy)
The main goal is to give an overview about vertically integrated firms in the fashion supply chain, looking at how they have implemented branding and retailing strategies in international markets.
Eco-couture - The use of Biological Substances in Fashion Design - Sarine Zaken (Eco-couture, Israel)
Ecology is derived from the Greek words οἶκος (home) and λογία (study). It is a branch of biology that studies the relationships between the various organisms with respect to all living organisms in the habitat, as well as between each of them to the environment.
Prof. Eshel Ben Jacob discovered that the secret that allows the bacteria Paenibacillus vortex and Paenibacillus dendritiformis to survive is collaboration. The bacteria employ advanced communication mechanisms or a sort of a "chemical Twitter". They organize huge colonies amounting to billions of items, many times the number of humans on Earth, where they divide roles, risks and resources. These facts made me realize that I can control the movement of the bacteria and create a living organic material that can be used in high fashion. These innovative organic products have huge potential in the design world.
How Virtual samples are making a real impact in the fashion industry - Gil Almog (Optitex, Israel)
Optitex is a leading technology company working with top global fashion, apparel and retail brands such as Target, Nike, Adidas, Coach and many others, on 3D simulation, pattern making and production tools. The company is now creating innovative 3D visualization and collaboration technologies that will transform how these brands plan, design , develop, produce and sell their future collections.
Already, reducing the amount of physical samples, and cutting product development cycle times is creating a strategic advantage for these companies, and these technologies, once adopted, are expected to completely change how the fashion industry operates.
