According to McKinsey & Company, fashion brands are expected to double their investment in technology by 2030 to keep pace with digital natives and gain a competitive edge. Furthermore, over 60% of fashion executives believe that establishing integrated digital processes throughout their organizations will rank among their top five priorities for digitization as they approach 2025. These insights, alongside recent trends such as collaborations and viral CGI marketing campaigns featuring brands like Jacquemus and Louis Vuitton, clearly illustrate the direction the fashion industry is heading.

Numerous publications and industry experts have highlighted that proficiency in technology, particularly in 3D software, is becoming one of the essential skills for fashion designers and other professionals. As brands may utilize various types of 3D software, it can be confusing to decide which one to learn first. However, the reality is that most 3D software shares similarities, making it easier to transition from one to another once you have mastered one. We recommend CLO3D for those starting out, as it is not only popular but also offers affordable CLO3D courses that align well with fashion design education and pattern drafting.
