A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Users may collaborate while designing the apparel and designate what items should belong in specific collections. Users may also use an assortment builder tool to search a database of products according to one or more search parameters to select a garment with a finishing pattern.

A garment is provided that is arranged to be worn on a lower limb of a human subject and to cover a knee of the lower limb of the human subject and/or be provided at, above or below the knee of the lower limb of the human subject in use. At least one section of said garment is arranged to provide a compressive force to one or more locations on the lower limb of the human subject when worn in use. The garment is arranged such that the part of said garment that covers said knee and/or is provided at, immediately above or immediately below the knee when the garment is worn in use has at least one region that applies no compressive force to the venous vessels of the knee of the human subject or any compressive force that is applied to the venous vessels of the knee is less than or equal to about 8 mmHg.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system provides feedback to the user on how their designs may appear in a virtual store or storefront, such as through virtual reality or augment reality techniques.

Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. A technique includes determining a fabric's response to a laser, capturing an initial image of a wear pattern on a garment, and processing the initial image to obtain a working image in grayscale. The working image is further processed to obtain a difference image by comparing each pixel relative to a dark reference. The difference image is converted to a laser values image by using the previously determined fabric response to the laser.

A system allows a user to select designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. The previews provide photorealistic visualizations in two or three dimensions, and can be presented on a computer display, projected on a screen, or presented in virtual reality (e.g., via headset), or augmented reality. The system can also include a projection system that projects the new designs onto garments on mannequins in a showroom. The garments and the new designs projected onto the garments have a three-dimensional appearance as if the garments having the new designs are worn by people. Software and lasers are used in finishing the garments to produce garments with the new designs and the finished garments have an appearance of the three-dimensional appearance of the garments and new designs on the mannequins with the new designs projected onto the garments by the projection system.
