Simona laTorre owns Variazioni, a fashion design business in Palermo, Italy that produces three lines of clothing. She is seeking ways to innovate her business model to address issues like higher fabric costs and the need to reduce waste. Some options being considered are using 3D body scanning for accurate measurements, upgrading pattern making software, and moving pattern archives to a virtual system. LaTorre is interested in partnering with an innovation lab like ArcaTextile Lab to gain expertise, build networks, and develop a quality trademark with TCBL to signal fair and transparent business practices.
