Data, the new ‘Little Black Dress’ in Fashion
After winning Best Presentation award at the MRS Annual IMPACT Conference, I was invited to share a presentation summary as an article for Research-Live online magazine.
The article discusses how I designed a ResearchGame to help inform a new fashion collection with the brand Lucy (owned by Fortune 500 company – the same organization that owns North Face and Wrangler).
The study shows how the design of the ResearchGame allowed the client to rely on the data to make business and design decisions, and thus reduce waste in time, labour, and materials as the new collection had sold-out (and thus, less on the sale rail).
