the Ai tools are a terrific addition to my Make The Dot toolbox. As a made to order and made to measure business, having the tools to illustrate the finished garments for the client prior to manufacture is invaluable. we can talk through visual iterations of style, color and details to start pattern work.

I have just graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in fashion design, and my school RMCAD allowed me access to Make the Dot for creating mood and concept boards. My favorite thing about the software is the ability to save images at a high resolution from any website. It makes creating a beautiful concept board incredibly easy and fun.

Design Director at Tommy Hilfiger
As fashion designers, we have tightly packed calendars with overlapping seasons, so it helps when there are tools that allow us to easily create our vision for the next season.
I must say Make the Dot is an amazing tool for creating concept boards. I produced this concept deck quickly and easily, and the resources for the fabric libraries and Pantone color-matching tools were very useful and convenient.
My favorite feature is the Chrome extension, which allows you to add images you find in your internet searches. The best part is that the images come with links embedded in the details tab.
I see this tool being easily adopted in the fashion industry.

One of my favourite things about Make the Dot is definitely the fabric library. It is so important for students to use accurate fabric swatches in their projects, rather than searching on Google or Pinterest, which can often give you a generic image that does not match with the type you're looking for.

I'd normally never visit the fabric suppliers' websites directly, but now that it's embedded within Make the Dot, I love looking up the fabrics before visiting the store because it gives me inspiration and helps conjure up new ideas while I'm designing. I also use it to show the visualization to my teacher before buying the fabric.

Fashion product development encompasses the intricate journey from concept to consumer, requiring meticulous planning, trend analysis, and supply chain management.
Meanwhile, fashion design fuels this process with creativity, vision, and a deep understanding of consumer desires.
Mastering both disciplines is essential for navigating the dynamic landscape of the fashion industry, ensuring that our designs not only captivate aesthetically but also resonate commercially.
Let's continue to embrace the synergy between product development and design as we drive innovation and excellence in the fashion world.

I always recommend my students to bridge their online to offline fabric research and experiment with different textures before finalizing on a purchase. Even when I'm designing myself, I often use Make the Dot's fabric library to find specific print patterns to complement my concept. It is so convenient!

Can't rave enough about how Make the Dot is the perfect solution for fashion teams looking to streamline their creative process!! The platform allows me to easily create amazing-looking mood boards that incorporate colors and images, and easily share that inspiration with my clients (who can add their own ideas) and get their feedback. I also love using it as an ideating tool where I can easily collect all my random images and clippings and organize them just as quickly without having to jump between different types of software. :) lnkd.in/g5r3NHsm

Too often I'll see inspiration items and promise to go back to them as I go deeper into a research hole, only to forget or close tabs. This plugin makes it so useful to save and organise into separate boards and making life so much simpler.
