This fall, Lectra participated in Europe’s largest IT conference, the IMB Select 2010—Fashion & Textiles: IT-Systems, Services and Strategies in Cologne, Germany on November 9 and 10. This year’s conference explored product developments for a post-crisis economy and the development of intelligent planning and information management along the supply chain.

Lectra presented its added-value solutions Lectra Fashion PLM, Kaledo, and Optiplan, in addition to promoting its partnership with X-Rite.

Lectra also gave presentations on production and design-specific topics from the textile and apparel industries in the IMB Select Forum & Speaker’s Corner.

Lectra Fashion PLM pushes back the limits of product lifecycle management by covering all the necessary steps for the creation of collections and bringing together role-based applications for product design, pattern-making, and physical and 3D virtual prototyping with tools for the planning and management of collections (line planning, product specification, costing, strategic sourcing, and flexible workflow management). Modular and scalable, Lectra Fashion PLM meets the needs of medium-sized companies just as well as of large international groups.

"Lectra Fashion PLM V2R2 is a major technological leap forward—we have drawn on best practices
developed with customers to profoundly improve upon all the processes the solution covers, making a real
difference to the entire value chain. For our customers this means better collaboration, time and costs
savings, and, ultimately, increased competitiveness,” says Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO.

This competition, specifically for fashion students at Lectra’s 35 education partner schools in the U.K., is offering the lucky winner the chance of an 6-12-month internship in Maria Grachvogel’ s London studio. To enter, the student must create a womenswear garment—from design to finished product—using Lectra technologies at some stage in the project.

Launched on February 1, the competition will close in May 2010. The initial selection will be made by course tutors and independent experts who will shortlist the most interesting projects. The finalists will attend an event in London and will be invited to present their design project to Maria Grachvogel, who will make the final decision.
