Hi, I’m Laura

With over 20 years of experience across fashion design, product development and education, I help designers, brands and fashion teams use 3D tools more effectively in real product development.

Fashion Toolbox grew from a desire to bridge the gap between traditional fashion skills and the increasingly digital way products are designed, developed and communicated. My focus is practical: helping people understand not just how to use the software, but where digital tools genuinely add value within a fashion workflow.

I provide CLO3D and digital fashion training alongside 3D product development, digital pattern making and product visualisation, combining technical fashion knowledge with hands-on digital expertise.

Why use 3D in fashion product development?

3D tools can help fashion teams make more decisions digitally before committing to physical samples, giving designers, technical teams and suppliers a clearer way to review and communicate product development. Garments can be assessed for proportion, construction, colour, print and selected fit considerations, helping identify potential issues and make amendments earlier in the process.
Used alongside strong pattern-cutting, fit and product-development knowledge, 3D is not a replacement for every physical sample or fitting. Instead, it adds another practical layer to the development process, helping teams work more collaboratively, reduce unnecessary iterations and make better-informed decisions before moving further into sampling and production.

Review More Before Sampling

Test proportion, construction, colour, print and selected fit considerations digitally before moving into physical sampling.

Improve Product Communication

Give designers, technical teams, suppliers and stakeholders a clearer visual reference for discussing product decisions and amendments.

Make Better Use of Physical Samples

Digital development cannot replace every physical fitting or sample, but it can help reduce unnecessary iterations by resolving more decisions earlier.
