As part of DZ Group’s Sustainability Initiative, we have a created a Digital Showcase. By utilizing cutting edge technology, we can create seasonal inspiration and design concepts in digital formats. With these tools we can collaborate with our clients to create new and innovative designs.  As a result of using this technology, we can expand our design capabilities while minimizing costs, reducing lead times and enhancing communication as well as improving our sustainable footprint.

Virtual Showroom – Allows Buyers the opportunity to view showroom samples virtually from any location using an online format. High resolution photographs can be seen using a 360-degree view, allowing you to see front, back and side views for close-up inspection of fabric, stitch and styling details.  Our growing sample library includes studioDZ inspiration collections, both knit downs and garments, market samples and past production. The virtual showroom offers a robust resource for seasonal inspiration and is a great option to start the development process digitally.

Shima SDS-ONE APEX – This 3D design system incorporates software specialized in the design of knits, prints and weaves. The system allows for 3D simulation of yarns, fabrics and garments and endless variations of stitches, patterns and color by offering realistic 3D translations. Designers can create high resolution designs and virtual samples in real time.

CLO 3D- The most contemporary 3D fashion design software program, able to design all product categories with true to life garment simulation. Great for exploring design possibilities with the use of realistic avatars. Designers can create a variety of garments with intricate construction and trim details while also simulating fabric movement. Enhancements and revisions are easy to interpret and visualize.

R & D is much more than a department at DZ GROUP, it’s embedded in our workflow and directly infused in how and what we create for our customers. We are always at the forefront of new techniques and finishes such as antimicrobial and wicking properties, anti-pill yarns, dyeing processes, and high end yarns that are machine washable and heat dryable.

We are experts at re-imagining new stitches, cables and ways to knit with sustainable new yarn blends that differ from anything on the market today. We are consistently up to date with the newest machinery and technology available on the market. And with our 3-D technology we are able to get the aesthetic right the first time, which saves time and money.
