C-DESIGN Fashion provides customers with a single solution to address the entire fashion design process from product design through to in-store merchandising.

It is the choice of top European designers including ZARA, PIMKIE and OKAIDI who use C-DESIGN Fashion to create high-fashion, ready-to-wear collection product lines in record time.

"We recognize that designers in the highly competitive fashion industry are under constant pressure to take their designs from the concept sketch to the retail store more quickly than ever," said Patrick Abbou, CEO at C-DESIGN. "The C-DESIGN Fashion solution is created to meet this need head-on, providing a one-stop software package that streamlines the fashion design process, making fashion houses more efficient and ultimately more profitable."
