Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions, has recently signed a new partnership agreement with X-Rite, the world leader in colour management, measurement and communication technologies.
Together they will provide fashion companies with a seamless solution for colour management – a challenge that many customers face. This partnership will enhance Lectra’s value-added solutions.
“We are delighted to partner with Lectra to deliver advanced tools in colour communication for the fashion design community,” said Iris Mangelschots, Senior V-P Sales & Marketing, X-Rite. “ColorMunki and Pantone are established standards for brand owners in graphic design for colour selection, control and communication. Our partnership with Lectra, a recognized world leader in the fashion design industry, will extend these same benefits to fashion designers in an efficient, integrated way, connecting yet another integral link along the apparel supply chain.”
“Colour is critical in design, but it is an expensive business that can be very hard to control. Integrating X-Rite and Pantone technology into Lectra’s solutions will provide designers with a tool to enhance the quality and speed of exchanges between design, development and production, while keeping to the company’s original design concept as closely as possible,” said Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO.
Colour management is now possible for both Lectra’s current and future customers and allows for rapid validation of a colour’s feasibility for a specific fabric, reducing the number of lab dips necessary to develop a product. Seasonal colour palettes can be shared, so that all merchandising is coherent with the actual collection in progress.
