Lectra Kaledo For Pc

Fashion and apparel businesses need a breakthrough solution that’s specifically made for customization. Introducing Fashion On Demand by Lectra—the industry’s first end-to-end personalization offer, empowering businesses with an automated, on-demand supply chain.

Specifically dedicated to fashion designers, Kaledo Style and Kaledo Collection allow designers to concentrate on creation, and to improve efficiency at each stage of the collections development process: defining trends and colors for a season or product line, garment design, choice of fabrics and associated patterns. Fashion design Kaledo Suite is a collaborative platform that facilitates communication between business, design and technical teams throughout the conceptual design development process.

Capitalizing on design resources, reducing time to market and boosting creative options are critical. Fashion companies rely on coherent branding, marketing and product design to set themselves apart in a crowded marketplace. Eliminating repetitive tasks that are labor-intensive and tedious allows designers to focus on what they do best: design. The marriage of an artistic eye and technical know-how is very valuable, and Kaledo provides the forum to facilitate this type of collaboration.

Kaledo also offers sketching tools especially made for fashion such as symmetry, vector and bitmap stitching effects and component libraries to facilitate the re-purposing of individual pieces or of whole styles. Designers are quickly operational and productivity is streamlined. Because Kaledo includes unique, fashion-specific “push” technology, style and other modifications are automatically sent wherever that item is used, eliminating tedious manual updates. Carryovers are cloned to accelerate the process, inheriting style and fabric properties.

Sketches can also be saved and classified directly onto the platform from Adobe Illustrator CS3 or CS4. Collection Plans Designers quickly fill mini-bodies with colors and fabrics using tools built solely for this purpose. Whether fabrics come from Kaledo Textile Solutions, scanned artwork or other sources, colorways are handled as a group to minimize repetitive object handling. Even when sketches are filled with fabric and color, colorways created and placed in a collection plan, modifications can be made once and pushed to wherever that particular item is used—a considerable time savings. Dynamic collection plans give designers the freedom to explore ideas and create better collections, ultimately resulting in increased design options and refined brand identity.

Collaborative Storyboarding Boards of all types—trendboards, moodboards, style sheets, collection plans, colorway boards and more—are generated throughout the design process. Often, information is repeated from board to board in order to dissect a collection from every possible angle. Brands and other fashion companies must also present the same information in different ways to appeal to their target customer. In Kaledo Collection, objects are intelligently linked in a way that is logical for fashion.

When a modification is made, the update can automatically be “pushed” to all boards, saving time and reducing confusion, because everyone has the latest version. Product Briefs and Specifications As collections take shape and evolve, conceptual information associated with individual designs is harnessed and transformed into a brief or specification. Teams not only share information in real time, but contribute to seamlessly transform design into development. As team members of all disciplines see and contribute continuously throughout the process, information about a particular design is richer and more precise, earlier in the process.
