CLO | 3D Fashion Design Software

Our User Stories

See how people around the world are working smarter with CLO.

Merve Ak, Fashion & Graphic Designer

With CLO 3D, we have been able to bring more of our ideas to the forefront and showcase them effectively. Currently, the most frequently used feature of CLO for us and the one I believe simplifies our work the most, is the Grading feature. We can present the models in every size to the client online, using realistic fabric simulation in 3D, and obtain their initial approval.

Neşe Dülger, Product Technology Unit Manager

Thanks to CLO, we have created a library for ourselves in terms of patterns and fabrics. Currently, all our 2D patterns are archived within our organization through CLO. This means that when we want to produce the same product anywhere in the world, our 2D patterns are readily available in our pattern archive. We chose CLO for its fast service network both domestically and internationally, accessibility, avatars, and overall user-friendly features.

Sacide Türkmen, Lead 3D Garment Designer

Above all, CLO provides us with the flexibility to work freely. It saves us a lot of time during the sampling process, because we can quickly resolve our fit tests within CLO. When presenting to customers with CLO and CLO-SET, we prefer to use 3D Turntable videos to convey the product. Presenting with a 360° turntable provides more detail and a more comprehensive view to the customer.

Fabienne Meury, Head of Technical Product Development at CALIDA

"Before we implemented CLO, I always had to wait for the sewing sample to see if my pattern was good and that I put the right lines. And now, I can do the pattern, bring that into CLO, and have a look on the avatar if everything is right and good, and in the right place. So, I can save samples and time and yeah, that's great."

K-pop Meets Digital Fashion:

Behind ae-aespa’s "Whiplash" Universe

K-pop is known for its next-level visuals, and the “Whiplash” Universe is no exception. Meet Jon and Jinbeom, our talented creators who brought ae-aespa to life with stunning digital garments. Using CLO and Marvelous Designer, they collaborated across software to craft highly detailed, hyper-realistic outfits that added a whole new layer of storytelling to the group’s concept.

Ann-Sophie Schälicke

Fashion Designer

"CLO is more than just software. It's a tool that empowers me to design in a way that aligns with my physical strengths. CLO has given me the tools to bring my vision to life with more precision and creativity, and I'm excited to see where it evolves in the future of adaptive fashion." Supported by Design Academy ADAPT: an educational program co-hosted by VORN – The Berlin Fashion Hub and Zalando.

Andrea Cochón, Head of Design

"Fabbric is a platform that enables emerging brands and designers to design and manufacture their own fashion collections. To bring fashion and its technical complexity into the digital world, we needed a partner that could provide us with the necessary tools to bridge both worlds. This is how CLO became a fundamental part of our growth. CLO has been crucial for us in everything related to design and patternmaking."

Mixed Reality Designer

"I find that working with CLO is much more dynamic. It allows me to be experimental and quick and try out tons of different things up until the production level. Because designing clothes for production can be quite costly, and with CLO, I make this process much more streamlined."

Freelance 3D Designer

"CLO enables me to collaborate with people and companies worldwide. Currently, I can live off the income I generate through my projects and consultancies. I also rely on passive income from CONNECT through the sale of my designs, and I teach workshops on CLO."

Nanna Egonsdotter Petersson, 3D Garment Technician

"I like to experiment with different technical solutions when I create my patterns. CLO enables me to do this without wasting any resources, and I can see the results of my patterns straight away. I can now make sure that the fit and size is exactly like my designer has envisioned before I send out any final patterns."

Roberto Malatesta, Head of Pattern and Technical Manager

"For the pattern-making department, 3D represents a cutting-edge technology that is constantly evolving. The software's realism allows us to enhance creativity and reduce errors. 3D visualization enables us to identify any issues in the assembly of the garment, supporting the designer in defining the details and proportions."

Deniz Textile (Baltali Group)

Nur Erkoçlar, Design Manager

"We used to make samples. Instead of making samples, we now send them by CLO, CLO-SET. One of the things I like most about CLO is that we have absolutely no email traffic jam. Should we design it this way, make the print this color, or change it? We can change it right away and we don't waste any time or money by making samples."

HKDI Digital Fashion Competition

HKDI Students, Fashion and Image

"CLO makes the design process simple and convenient. Digitalisation is leading the fashion industry towards innovation. When technology merfes with fashion, you can explore the infinite possibilities."

Barbara Bianchini, Pattern Maker

"CLO has improved the collaboration between the style department and the pattern-making office allowing us to better understand the fit of our designs. The style department is now able to create unlimited shapes, prints, and colorways. CLO integrated easily with the company’s existing system thanks to the possibility to import and export DXF files."

José Miguel Garcia, Head Pattern Maker Menswear

"In any place where CLO is used or implemented in a 360 manner, the benefits are immediate, evident, undeniable, and everyone falls in love with it. As soon as you have the opportunity to demonstrate it -- people become convinced."

Hoon Kim, Creative Director

"As fashion changes like a flash of lightning, and when we try such variability of fashion, we chose CLO because we thought it would be the most reasonable, and very helpful in a specific presentation activity."

Yi Yang, 3D Modelling Executive

"We are now able to do a number of things in CLO such as pattern making, sewing, mock-ups, rendering, print layout. The rendering of the style comes out at the same time as the design is completed."

Creation Fields

Eva Mattsson Culafic, Founder & CEO

"We prepare companies for the next generation of fashion, and the initial step will always be to create the first sample in CLO. Everything starts with a 3D sample, and that sample opens all doors."

CLO Designer Brand Workshop

Minjeong Kang, CEO of NOIXTE / Jinok Kim, CEO of ZUVIN

"With CLO, We overcame the cost and time limitations we had as a designer brand.Not only CLO enabled boundless design development, but it also became a driving force for various marketing ideas."

Alena Glimpel, Team Leader 3D

Marc Zöller, Country Manager (Operation)

"We tried several solutions which are big in the market at the moment but in the end found most advantages at CLO3D and till this day we didn’t regret this decision."

YongJune Choi, General Manager

"Before adopting 3D, countless physical samples were required to develop a single product, and a lot of resources were wasted. So, we decided to adopt 3D within our process, and have reduced a lot of unnecessary physical sample consumption."

BMB Manifattura Borse Firenze

Gianni Contino, R&D Director

"CLO and CLO-SET are driving us towards the future. Using CLO and its tools is a big opportunity for business growth and thanks to CLO-SET we are able to share 3D projects, and can instantly allow others to modify and review virtual prototypes in real time, remotely."
