The Kooples, a prestigious French fashion brand, chose the expert version of Modaris to support their international expansion. The company needed to boost responsiveness at the product development stage without sacrificing quality. After upgrading to Modaris Expert, The Kooples was able to widen its product range by introducing sportswear and childrenswear lines while maintaining the distinctive fit and minimalist design that define their brand. According to Karen Elalouf, former Managing Director of Lectra France, “The expert version of Modaris allows for greater creativity and makes it easier for pattern makers to respect the brand’s DNA”.
Includes a specialized feature that cuts the time needed to modify darts by half, contributing to a 50–90% increase in overall patternmaking speed.

The financial impact is equally profound. Traditional product development requires rounds of physical samples, each incurring costs for materials, labor, shipping, and logistics. By shifting the fit and design validation process to a virtual environment, companies can drastically cut these expenses. Pattern-makers can make changes to a pattern and see the results instantly, avoiding the cost and waste of producing a new physical sample for each iteration.

The module, which is integral to the EXPERT version, stands out as the most advanced solution for virtual prototyping in the fashion universe. According to Daniel Harari, former CEO of Lectra, “virtual 3D prototyping can yield incommensurable reductions—between 30 and 50% on average, depending on the models—in product development cycle times”.
The fashion and apparel industry demands unprecedented speed, precision, and sustainability. stands as the gold standard software solution designed to meet these rigorous demands. By seamlessly bridging the gap between traditional 2D pattern making and advanced 3D virtual sampling, this expert-tier platform revolutionizes how garments are designed, developed, and approved. According to Karen Elalouf, former Managing Director of
: Includes improved virtual pleat management, allowing for the visualization and printing of fold lines, fold direction, and specific annotations to improve communication with production workshops. Key Benefits for Fashion Professionals According to , the Expert version focuses on three main pillars: Speed to Market
Cryptographic security dongle verification paired with localized environmental machine emulators for permanent system stability. Foundational Keyboard Commands
In the landscape of fashion CAD software, Lectra Modaris stands alongside other key players like Optitex, Browzwear VStitcher, and CLO 3D. While each platform has its strengths, Modaris is uniquely distinguished by its deep heritage as a pattern-making solution that "grew up" with 2D pattern engineering before adding 3D visualization.
The environmental argument for 3D prototyping is compelling. By reducing the number of physical samples, fashion companies can . Virtual sampling saves thousands of meters of fabric annually and reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping physical samples across the globe. This aligns with the growing demand from consumers and regulators for more sustainable practices within the industry.
