Where Is The Advanced Clothing Customization?

With China Economics With the development of more and more high-end consumers, they are no longer satisfied with the uniform machine-made garments. The advanced customization of clothing, which is characterized by handmade, personalized and high quality, becomes the first choice of their clothing consumption and the symbol of their status. There is no doubt that high-end customization has become the "blue ocean" of the competition of domestic brand clothing enterprises. However, compared with some overseas luxury brands, such as high-end and other old brands, the domestic clothing brand is "epigenetic" regardless of brand history or operation management. Is high-end customization really a pie or trap for domestic clothing brands? Is it a great achievement for the future generation, or a hard nut to crack?

The global economic downturn, China's economy is thriving, many domestic clothing Enterprises focus their business on the domestic market. Some enterprises that originally owned their own brands increased their domestic channel development, while some other OEM enterprises that had originally processed their products also launched their own brands. With the introduction of famous foreign clothing brands to vigorously develop the Chinese market, the market of domestic clothing and clothing market was four, and competition became increasingly fierce.

There are three main challenges for enterprises to develop high-end customized market segments:

The brunt is a brand challenge. Brand is the symbol of historical sedimentation, art and quality. The formation of brand depends on the input and accumulation of enterprises. This is precisely what the domestic garment enterprises have neglected and lacked. Foreign luxury brands, such as Chanel The brand of Zegna and other brands played a key role in the success of the high-end custom market. Therefore, the domestic clothing brand enterprises should first deal with the accurate positioning of high-end customized brands and vigorously mold their brand culture and artistic temperament. There are alternative ways to acquire premium brands at home and abroad or to collaborate with well-known designers to launch designer brands.

The second is the challenge of designers. A high-end custom garment from the beginning of customer demand communication, tailoring to the final delivery need to go through more than 10 work processes and 10 times to try and perfect. This requires designers not only have profound artistic culture and excellent communication skills, can accurately grasp and express the psychological expectations of customers in this area, but also need designers to master the technology of clothing production. At present, the top designers in China are scarce resources, especially those with comprehensive quality and ability. At the same time, the introduction of top designers means that enterprises need to invest huge labor costs and increase the operational burden and risk of enterprises. This requires enterprises to establish a perfect mechanism for selecting, using, cultivating and retaining talents. They dare to invest in high-end talents and avoid risks.

Finally, the development of high-end customized business enterprises also face the challenges of service. Different from batch garment manufacturing, high-end customization from customer development to product delivery and after sales service, the whole process embodies the delivery of high-end customized services. Customers even participate in the process of garment sewing, and the more customers perceive is the value of service. Therefore, enterprises should establish an independent service system outside the original channel service system, such as the establishment of customized experience center. At the same time, in order to achieve a good sense of customer service, enterprises should establish a sound information database, including fashion trend elements, artistic temperament elements, process technology and so on.
