What's Inside

Coresight Research attended Alvanon’s 3D Tech Festival, an online conference dedicated to developments in 3D (three-dimensional) technical design in the apparel industry, which ran from September 13 to 15, 2022. Erin Schmidt, Senior Analyst at Coresight Research, kicked off day two of the conference with a discussion of proprietary insights from our Adaptive Apparel in the US consumer survey from July 2022.

We present highlights from day two. Our coverage of how user-centered design and technology are advancing inclusivity in retail includes:
