Editor's letter

AI is already transforming the fashion supply chain but many fashion brands and manufacturers are combining its benefits with trusted tried-and-tested systems. In this issue Just Style explores how much technology is too much and what will be the wider impact on the fashion supply chain and the people behind it in the future?  

AI is also influencing PLM software with industry experts suggesting its greater intelligence, flexibility and connectivity is making a cloud-first strategy more vital than ever for boosting profits and streamlining operations. Plus, PLM cloud software firms are also making it easier for brand and manufacturers to align with sustainability legislation and the growing demand for end-to-end supply chain traceability. 

In an exclusive interview with Just Style, Lever Style’s executive chairman Stanley Szeto explains why adaptability, digitalisation, and reduced order sizes will be critical to a fashion brand’s success in 2025. 

We hope you enjoy the issue!
