Figure 4.
The diagram shows enablers and linked technologies across apparel life cycle stages. Enablers include customer attitude, organisational systems, customer engagement, supporting ecosystem, and external shifts. The life cycle begins with understanding user requirements, followed by designing and assembling, prototyping, sourcing of fabric, production, retail experience, use phase, and end of life. Each stage contains text describing technologies such as digital printing, deep learning, smart logistics, additive manufacturing, virtual fitting, interactive garments, sensor modules, and supply chain reconfiguration. A section on personalisation or mass customisation runs beneath all stages. A final column lists outcomes such as reduced cost, reduced response time, reduced production time, sustainability, meeting regulations, luxury experience, and flexibility.An integrative representation of the innovations and supporting technologies for personalization across the apparel life cycle and the enablers
