ABSTRACT
By virtue of the application of science in fashion design, the fast growing garment industry, once dependent solely on the availability of skilled labor for new creations, is now witnessing the use of advanced technology leading to highly efficient production. Not only this, SMEs and multinational companies across the industry are now capable of delivering new products in less time to market, fostering an interactive customer-business culture. Businesses are benefiting from digital transformation using R&D as the channel to sustainable growth.
