  • KGL Goes Beyond Cool with Gender Fluid NYFW Runway

    New York, NY (September 10, 2023) - Kanika Goyal Label (KGL) found a way to evolve beyond creativity and show NYFW that truly original designs still pervade the fashion mecca’s runways with its vivid visual play of intersecting lines, sublime shapes, textures and tempting colors. The Delhi, India-based brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, Aether Leak delved into the intriguing space between the tangible and the intangible, where the concepts of the infinite, otherworldly dimensions converge with the earthly transitions. Guests felt transported to Goyal’s vision: a cosmic dance-off where the familiar mingles with the mystical. This collection drew its creative impetus from the interplay of light and shadow, the hazy realms of the unknown, and the transcendental link between gods and mortals. The color palette gracefully transitioned from the brief haze of dusty pastels to the deep, mysterious shades of the universe, ranging from muted hues to iridescent, infinite shades that mirror the transition from earthly haziness to the clarity of divine domains. Bonded knits, taffeta, and denim fabrics echoed cosmic grains and the passing softness of clouds inviting wearers to traverse the boundary between tangible and celestial. The motifs represent the fleeting moments, the potential for transformation, and the delicate interplay between chaos and order. Aether Leak employs gradient techniques to evoke the illusion of shifting dimensions. Airy materials drape like a celestial mist, allowing wearers to embody the nebulous beauty of distant realms. Structured garments incorporate metallic embellishments, emulating the luminous dust particles suspended in the realms of creation. “Aether Leak is an invitation to witness the youthful spirit transcending boundaries and exploring the depths of imagination.” – Designer, Kanika Goyal Notable attendees included Bibhu Mohapatra, TG Omori, Renata Valliulina, Sukihana, Leyna Bloom, Brett Gray. About KGL With its roots dug deep in quality craftsmanship and refined tailoring, KGL finds its identity by playing with the principle of paradox. KGL aims at its continuous endeavors of delivering intellectually designed statement neo-luxury with ‘a cool brand’ element. The brand language embodies a youthful and free spirit that draws inspiration from the current zeitgeist and in return adds back to the cultural sphere, an engaging and vivid visual play of intersecting lines, sublime shapes, textures and tempting colors. Its perspective on self-expression and freedom of speech is built into the fabric of the brand. Celebrating a non-traditionalist point of view, KGL intends to deconstruct the rigid perception of tailoring as well as gender stereotypes. The brand combines elevated construction with elements that authentically define “now” and use humor as a vehicle to communicate its values and ideas.

  • Move Over Y2K, Get Ready for ‘Comfortcore’

    British Women Are Prioritising Comfort More Than Ever, but Not at the Expense of Style LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--British women are prioritising comfort when planning their outfits this summer, with nearly 40% of respondents saying a good fit is front of mind. This is giving rise to a new fashion trend: Comfortcore. Comfortcore is the new aesthetic of choice emerging from France and the UK. Not just sweatshirts and leggings - comfortcore is known for soft materials and easy-to-wear designs that deliver elegance while giving a feeling of being relaxed. It’s all about finding a balance with a fit, texture and fluidity that is still timelessly chic. Comfortcore could solve Britain’s style dilemma, as just 14% of UK women are fully content with their current style and 69% are keen to know how to dress better for their shape and size, according to new YouGov research commissioned by creator-guided shopping platform, LTK. LTK creator Mollie Campsie (molliecampsie) is an early advocate for this new trend, commenting: “Comfort is my number one priority, no exceptions! I can’t feel my best if I’m not comfortable. I want my outfits to get me through the day and be weather appropriate, fit properly and be made of soft fabrics. Anything else would just be a distraction.” Another item that fits the Comfortcore trends is Crocs. The marmite shoe brand is particularly popular with Gen Z shoppers, with 24% of 16–24-year-olds styling out the comfortable footwear, compared to just 8% of respondents aged between 45-54. While Comfortcore is growing in popularity nationally this summer, it has been especially dominant in the North-East of England where comfy jumpsuits are go-tos for 37% of the women there, versus the national average of 28%. Similarly, easy slip-on footwear, such as flip flops, are popular options in this region, with twice as many consumers (60%) planning to wear the summer slip-on compared to the national average (30%). And, despite the ongoing economic squeeze, shoppers are ready to buy, with 45% planning to spend between £50 and £200 a month, while 19% plan to invest more than £200 on their summer wardrobe this year. Preloved fashion is also in demand, with 50% of respondents keen to buy second-hand clothes. But what items are hot and what are not, according to UK shoppers? What’s hot? Fail-safe Comfortcore staples like maxi dresses are the main choice for 50% of shoppers, alongside trainers (74%) and sandals (70%), which continue to make the top of shopping wish lists. What’s not? Eccentric, standout pieces are not a priority, with only a small minority of women planning to wear fringe dresses (3%), lace dresses (7%), and statement heels (8%) this summer. Even trends like Y2K, previously dominating the fashion scene post-pandemic, are also dipping, with 90s aesthetic items like low-rise (9%) and flared (12%) jeans out in favour of a more comfortable wide-legged option (37%). Finding inspiration British women are also calling out for more style guidance and inspiration, as 30% of women surveyed are eager to experiment with their wardrobe, while 23% want to explore bolder options when it comes to pattern, print, colour and accessories. 39% of respondents don’t want to spend time choosing an outfit and regularly leave the house without feeling well dressed. So it’s no surprise that social media has a huge role to play when it comes to fashion inspiration. LTK’s research found that people are almost twice as likely (14% versus 8%) to be inspired by influencers’ style over celebrities. And their influence further increases over celebrities when it comes to beauty (20% versus 8%). This inspiration has led to more items in the shopping trolley, with 42% of respondents buying an item they discovered through an influencer, with Londoners even more likely to be swayed, as the figure rises to 55% in the capital. But many are still drawing grassroots inspiration from street style, with over a quarter (26%) citing this as a main source for new fashion ideas. Street style has remained relevant in the digital age with influencers tapping into their latest urban trends and bringing it into their own looks to connect with their followers in a relatable way. Style expert and LTK creator, Lydia Tomlinson (lydiajanetomlinson), who regularly posts educational style content on her LTK shop, has shared her tips for building your wardrobe this summer: Invest in a few useful accessories; preferably pieces with a twist that bring some fun and personality to the outfit. Think carefully about fabrics. You don’t need to spend lots of money on pieces but look for natural fabrics as they’re a lot more breathable. I usually opt for white, wide-legged trousers for the evening. They always look chic and dressy but, at the same time, are comfy and practical. The beauty of white wide legs is that they’re versatile and can be styled with a range of tops and accessories for whatever mood you’re in! The ‘perfect fit’ is different for everyone. What matters most is that people feel comfortable with what they’re wearing, because comfort brings confidence. I would personally say though, if in doubt, go for something slightly looser than something that’s too tight. A slightly looser fit nine times out of ten is more flattering and effortless. *Research of 1,020 UK females was commissioned by YouGov Plc. in June 2023.

  • Trial of Any Wear, Anywhere Clothing Share Service for Overseas Visitors

    Aiming to provide travel experiences involving less luggage and visualize environmental value Japan Airlines (JAL) and Sumitomo Corporation will launch a trial of the "Any Wear, Anywhere" clothing sharing service ("the Service") for foreign tourists and business travelers to Japan who use JAL-operated flights and will measure the environmental value of using the Service. With more and more people flying again after the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the recent emphasis in sustainability, there is a growing movement around the world to promote sustainable tourism. Travelers increasingly desire to make more sustainable choices regarding their travel destinations, accommodations, transportation etc., they still lack sufficient options. For example, most travelers now enjoy eating at restaurants and staying at hotels at their destination, but they generally bring their own clothing from home. The concept of the Service is therefore to provide a travel experience with minimal luggage by offering clothing rentals at the destination, thereby creating environmental value. By expanding the use of the Service, we aim to create an environment where travelers can use local options for all aspects of their clothing, food, and accommodation, transforming travel and business trips into more sustainable experiences. In providing the Service, Sumitomo Corporation will be responsible for developing the reservation system as well as for the procurement, laundering, and delivery of clothes. All clothing items available for rent will be obtained from excess stock of apparel and pre-owned clothing, thereby promoting the concept of a circular economy. JAL will monitor changes in passengers' checked-in baggage weight and verify the reduction effect of carbon dioxide emissions by reduced airplane weight due to use of the Service. Outline of the Trial Trial period: July 5, 2023, to August 31, 2024 (scheduled) How to use: 1. Visit the "Any Wear, Anywhere" reservation site: Anywearanywhere.store 2. Go to the Reservation page and select the clothing set that best suits the season and purpose of your visit to Japan. 3. Enter your JAL flight booking number, the date of pickup and return of the clothing set, and information about the destination where you wish to pick up the clothing set, and make a payment. (Note: Reservations must be made at least one month in advance. In principle, the return date must be within two weeks of the pickup date.) 4. Board a JAL-operated flight with less baggage. 5. Pick up and return the reserved clothing set at your hotel. Under "JAL Vision 2030," which targets the year 2030, the JAL Group is working to create a "safe and secure society" and a "sustainable future" with ESG as the core of its management strategy. The JAL Group's ESG strategy is to "solving social issues and create sustainable flows of people, and sales and distribution channels." We believe that the Service can be one component of this ESG strategy. Leveraging the strengths of an airline company, JAL Group will continue to sustainably generate demand, realizing a vibrant society and future where people and various goods freely interact. By considering social issues and technological developments, Sumitomo Corporation is working to develop businesses in the "Beyond Mobility" domain (mobility and cross-industry collaboration), which is expected to become a pillar of next-generation earnings from a medium- to long- term perspective. The idea for the Service was born from the "0 → 1 Challenge," an in-house entrepreneurship program. Sumitomo Corporation will promote company-wide reform of its business model and create new value by leveraging the individuality and creativity of each employee while responding to significant changes occurring in the world. Starting with this trial, both companies will continue to explore joint efforts that meet customer needs and generate environmental value. [Collaborative partners in the trial] ■WEFABRIK Inc. WEFABRIK was started in 2005 by former textile trader employee Mr. Fukuya, who wanted to make fashion more enjoyable and sustainable by confronting the massive waste that is causing serious environmental problems around the world. With a mission to solve the problem of "fashion loss," in which a global total of more than 20 billion garments are thrown away each year, the company operates an online apparel matching platform called "SMASELL." For this trial, WEFABRIK is cooperating for the procurement of clothes available for rental through the "Any Wear, Anywhere" service. ■Hakuyosha Hakuyosha has been contributing to the development of the cleaning industry in Japan as a leading company ever since it introduced Japan's first independently developed dry cleaning service in 1906, the year after its founding. In 2018, it won the "Sustainability Grand Prize" at the Global Best Practices Awards held in Milan, Italy in recognition of its commitment to providing high-quality services while also considering the environment, such as by conducting independent wastewater analysis at its own research institute, the Laundry Science Laboratory, and promoting the use of solvents with low environmental impact. For this trial, Hakuyosha is cooperating in the laundering and cleaning of clothes available for rental through the "Any Wear, Anywhere" service. Travel In Style!

  • Zartico Launches ZDOS™ Airport, Strategic-Planning Solution for U.S. Airports

    Streamlined data intelligence answers key questions about passenger trends The Zartico Destination Operating System™ Airport is a strategic decision-making tool designed specifically for airports. Guide the future growth and stability of your airport with game-changing insights. SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zartico, the creators of the world’s first Destination Operating System™, announces the latest in game-changing data solutions with the launch of ZDOS™ Airport. Designed to meet the unique needs of airports, ZDOS™ Airport offers new insights into passenger behavior, allowing airports to make data-led decisions for the benefit of travelers and local communities. With a partner base of more than 250 North American destination organizations, Zartico recognized that the airports share a common pain point with many destinations — a lack of transformational data insights that fuels innovation and supports competition. This new self-service application fills that gap and allows them to compete on revenue generation. ZDOS™ Airport uses the same rigorous data science methodology that powers Zartico’s destination management solutions. The application’s passenger-specific data model simplifies dataset analysis, requiring little customization or technical know-how to derive meaningful insights that drive new revenue possibilities in route development, local passenger inflow, and parking utilization. ZDOS™ Airport equips airports to now answer key questions, including: Where do our outbound and inbound passengers live? See the full picture of your local catchment area, and understand what markets inbound travelers are coming from. How does our market share compare to nearby competing airports? Know how your airport stacks up — who in your catchment area is choosing a competing airport, and who is traveling into competing airports to reach your destination. Who is using our parking services, and who is choosing an off-site competitor? Develop targeted marketing strategies to drive incremental parking growth. Where do inbound passengers go in our destination? Understand travel motivators for inbound flyers to create out-of-market advertising opportunities and grow strategic partnerships with in-market attractions and event venues. “Data is a powerful tool for understanding human movement and the economic opportunities tied to it,” says Zartico CEO Sarah Lehman. “In developing ZDOS™ Airport, we’ve combined everything we’ve learned from working with tourism destinations, then innovated, focused, and streamlined it in order to give airport leaders the precise intelligence they need to elevate their organizations moving forward.” ZDOS™ Airport is built on Zartico’s Integrated Data Model, using high-resolution geolocation data and event data to generate meaningful insights that supplement gate data. By filling in the data gaps, ZDOS™ Airport brings the full picture of passenger behavior into focus, empowering airports to market more strategically and manage more effectively. About Zartico Zartico powers the possibilities of place. Makers of the first Destination Operating System, Zartico harnesses and streamlines big data, science, AI, and technology to provide unprecedented visibility into the movement of people and economic opportunities.

StyleScan Studio is a plug-in available to all Shopify users, with the option to upgrade to Premium access and create an unlimited amount of digitally dressed model images. This process significantly reduces costs while accelerating the photo production process for retail brands. StyleScan also recently partnered with LOOK, a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software platform, simplifying collaboration between creative departments and streamlining production operations.

The company’s social initiative focuses on nurturing young creatives, and through their Student Sponsorship program, StyleScan provides free Studio licenses to thousands of students.

Within minutes, images are ready for e-commerce platforms, social media, and other marketing channels.

  • StyleScan Raises $1M to Expand Its Virtual Dressing Technology

    Already powering multiple luxury brands’ e-commerce websites, StyleScan is accelerating the deployment of its new technology with a financial round led by Clearbrook Capital. LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StyleScan, the developer of virtual-dressing technology for the fashion industry, announced today that it raised an additional $1 million in funding, bringing its total seed-round capital to $3 million. StyleScan’s leadership said that this financing is propelling the expansion of its e-commerce ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) solutions including the launch of new AI-driven products in the coming months. “With everything going increasingly digital, including fashion, online retailers need to up their game and improve the customer experience,” said StyleScan Founder and CEO Larissa Posner. “StyleScan helps them do that: Our newest SaaS plugin—ModelSwitch—empowers online shoppers. It allows them to preview garments on models with a wide range of body shapes, sizes and skin-tones. This makes fashion more relatable for everyone.” Posner added: “StyleScan’s value proposition for the brands employing our tech is straightforward. When shoppers can visualize their purchases on models who resemble them, they’re twice as likely to buy and 30% less likely to return what they bought. Put simply, we help our brand-partners enhance profits by making their online consumers more satisfied.” Though the benefits of StyleScan are easy to understand, its technology is sophisticated. StyleScan’s next-level software performance relies on a cutting-edge mix of machine learning, augmented reality, computer vision and fabric physics simulations. They all operate in sync to solve the complex problems of digitally rendering clothes onto countless body types with accuracy and a high aesthetic standard. With the company’s intellectual property now protected by two non-provisional patents, StyleScan’s software gives its clients multiple competitive advantages. To solve the complex problems of on-demand virtual dressing, StyleScan’s founder assembled a team of accomplished mathematicians and scientists. StyleScan’s Chief Technology Officer, Hein Hundal, is a PhD-level mathematician and previously was a machine learning and computer vision expert at Penn State’s Applied Research Laboratory. Stylescan’s Chief AI Officer, Rob Reitzen, is a Blackjack Hall of Famer and an AI practitioner who has developed many unique machine learning algorithms. To help bring the company’s revolutionary technology to fashion e-commerce, StyleScan tapped Galina Sobolev as Chief Marketing Officer. Sobolev is a fashion industry veteran who created contemporary women’s brand SINGLE, which recently launched a top-selling plus-size division. Investors have taken notice. “Larissa and her highly-skilled team have built a high-quality product that solves two key growing problems within the fashion retail sector: providing competitive customer experiences and reducing the cost and environmental impact of returned items,” said Robin Saunders, Managing Partner at Clearbrook Capital, a seed-round investor in StyleScan. “Having reviewed the offering of several ‘fashion try-on’ software competitors, we were very impressed with StyleScan’s. Their product is sleek, simple for online customers to use and seamless for retailers to incorporate into their online shops. This makes us very optimistic about StyleScan’s potential.” StyleScan’s clients include several luxury fashion companies; and several multi-billion-dollar apparel companies have begun piloting StyleScan’s tech. “In Q2 of this year, StyleScan began generating monthly recurring revenue,” said Posner. “With our technology already powering a dozen e-commerce brands, with another dozen expected to launch in the next several months, we are aiming for mass adoption. This is just the beginning.” About StyleScan: StyleScan offers AI-powered visualization technology that elevates the online shopping experience. With StyleScan, customers can preview garments on models resembling their own unique body shapes, or style full outfits with items across a retailer’s entire inventory.
