ZEGNA LAUNCHES CUSTOMIZATION TOOL
We are very excited for Zegna! They have been working on this 3D configurator concept for 2 years!
"Technology is a luxury when it makes your life easier. At Zegna, we see digital as something way bigger that a mere sales channel."
As we all know bespoke, MTM, and customization gives an extra flair and helps build customer relationships. This is exactly what Zegna plans to do with this feature. When it is fully launched it will allow people to customize the cut, color, styling, measurements, and material of the garment. It is very impressive that a company at this scale is going to provide a service like this! Not only will it help give the customer exactly what he wants, but it is more sustainable for the environment by not overproducing garments and that makes everyone happy!
ICONIC HICKEY FREEMAN FACTORY IS FOR SALE
It doesn't give me pleasure to report this, but the iconic Hickey Freeman is relocating their production facility and are selling their factory in Rochester, New York. They have been at this location for over a century!
The factory is known as "The Temple of Fine Tailoring". They were able to produce luxurious, top quality made-to-measure and off-the rack suits and dress shirts for numerous U.S. presidents, world leaders, celebrities, and for upscale retailers across the country.
It is sad to see an iconic American manufacture close down, but we hope they continue to grow and can one day return!
