Fit expert Ed Gribbin calls for radical change at IAF 2014

Attendees to the 30th IAF World Fashion Convention in Medellin, Colombia will have the opportunity to see and hear fit and sizing guru Ed Gribbin explain why radical change must be embraced in order to grow in today’s challenging world fashion environment.

Gribbin is president of Alvanon Inc. (The Apparel Fit Expert), and speaks worldwide on the art and science of fit. His presentation, “Re-thinking, Re-designing, Re-inventing,” will take place Tuesday, September 30th 3:00-4:00 p.m. at the Hotel Dann Carlton Medellin. His presentation topic is in support of IAF’s overall 2014 convention theme, “Understanding the challenges of the fashion business.”

IAF attendees involved in product development, merchandising and sourcing processes should find Gribbin’s talk of exceptional value.

“Our processes are woefully out of date,” says Gribbin, who points to Apple as a model for revamping the fashion industry’s work methodology. “There is much to be learned from a company like Apple, which continues to design and build products that people universally desire and are never marked down or closed out like most fashion.”

Re-thinking, Re-designing, Re-inventing will address how Apple embraced the fashion industry for inspiration and why the fashion industry should be inspired by Apple, and motivated to radically change how it creates product.
