The true future of fashion is virtual designing and technology is helping stylists and designers to create their models/​designs in super realistic 3D mannequins. Without real patterns, professionals can design and visualize the sketches which will help the work move faster and easier. It is also environmentally friendly. Fashion curation along with designing becomes equally important in the digital world. Creation of fashion with a cultural value by providing awareness to the consumers with the significance. Fashion curation just doesn’t showcase the finished product but completes the look by putting together as per the occasion, events, and parties.
