Why is a size S in one brand equivalent to an M in another? 🤔 I want to thank Weekend Knack and the brilliant, passionate journalist Sarah Vandoorne for highlighting this issue. Special thanks to Tom Duhoux from VITO for his research, pointing out that knowing which product fits us can prevent waste. As he rightly said, a universal standard for clothing could prevent vanity sizing. To Alexandra De Raeve from HoGent for her research in fashion and textiles, and to Ulrike Schoepfel from C&A, who identified this issue two years ago and started working on consistency across Europe. So here is my moonshot as a person, a tailor, an in-store sales assistant, a retail manager and industry expert, a product of a hippie and philosopher parents, taught to view things from all aspects. As a dyslexic who thinks in systems: Is this system working? you have a S in one artikel and a M in another. Is it profitable to communicate our collection via the average body size? Does anybody fit into the average? What if we leave every person exactly as they are, acknowledging no two bodies are alike? Can we not better standardize HOW we measure our product and bodies? Allow designers to create what they see as beautiful and fits there customer best. We build the digital bridge between the body and your collection, translation on product level. Size is out - Fit is in! This is the moonshot I’m calling for with my startup, SCIMM. togheter with Genius co founder Yannis De Cleene. Not a body scanner, not AI patterning or VR, but a data model. It may not sound sexy, but it is incredibly powerful!🦾 With standardized measurements, you can understand which size fits you best across brands and let new tech like AI work its magic! wright now AI is fluffy without strucured data. I am thrilled that pioneering brands are already working hard on trying and building new technology to solve the industry biggest challage. 🚀🚀🚀Who's with me to give the last punch to crack this golden nugget? Let's make fundamental changes to prevent this massive pile of waste, customer tears, and profit loss.

 Introducing a Bold Collaboration: Tessa Wardenburg & Nynke Moens We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership that promises to redefine the boundaries of fashion. WARDENBURG Tailors and the young fashion designer Nynke Moens are joining forces to challenge the conventional, bringing an audacious new perspective to tailoring. Why We Collaborate: At the heart of our collaboration is a rebellious spirit and a shared mission—to transform how fashion interacts with individuality. We believe that clothes should be more than just worn; they should express, empower, and adapt to the unique contours of the individual. Our Vision: This partnership is not just about designing clothes; it’s about crafting a manifesto for change. Traditional Tailoring is human focus design, Fashion design is product focused, so what if we take the best of both worlds and create a new standerd. We share a mission together, we are setting out to dismantle the old paradigms of fashion design and to question every stitch and seam. Our approach is simple yet radical: fashion garments should fit the person, not the other way around. Innovative Edge: Utilizing cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, we are committed to creating fashion that celebrates diversity and champions personal style. Our designs will not conform but will instead set a new standard for what fashion can and should do. Join us as we embark on this journey of innovation and style. Stay tuned for more as we unfold the future of fashion, one tailor-made piece at a time. #WardenburgTailors #NynkeMoens #FashionInnovation #RebelWithACause #TailoredToYou

Thrilled Beyond Words! 🚀 A fabulous article just went live on FashionUnited, and I am over the moon! Sarah Vandoorne has captured not just the essence of SCIMM, but the heartbeat of our moonshot mission. Huge thanks to Manu Leroy, OLY, the entire WARDENBURG & SCIMM team, my genius Partner in crime Yannis De Cleene and every believer who’s been part of this journey over the past two years. I could not have done this without you! Who would have thought? From a salesperson to tailor to tech entrepreneur, leveraging my decade of in-store experience, to spearheading a mission to fix a 100-year-old problem with a modern twist. We’re not just reducing inventory waste or start a one-on-one relationship with the consumer; we’re redefining how fashion interacts with data, much like the financial systems with payments. It’s been a wild ride from not fully grasping what a data model could be, to developing a data normalization vehicle—a SCIMM file—that could potentially save the industry $500 billion in excess stock. This journey has been anything but boring, and it’s just getting started. Thanks to FashionUnited and Sarah Vandoorne for sharing our story. This coverage is not just news; it’s a call to action. We’re diving deep into a 12-month R&D research on fit performance starting June 2024. Interested in making history with us? DM to connect and learn more about this transformative project.

“De wereld heeft niet meer kleding nodig, maar wel beter passende.” Dat vertelde Tessa W., medeoprichter van SCIMM, me in Trends Kanaal Z. Traditionele maattabellen voor kleding zijn achterhaald, omdat de ‘gemiddelde’ persoon niet meer bestaat. Scimm ontwikkelt software waarmee modebedrijven individuele lichaamsvormen als uitgangspunt nemen. Tessa Wardenburg testte de software uit op een kledingcollectie voor de Koninklijke Belgische Voetbalbond (KBVB).

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as intern Frontend Web Developer at SCIMM.
