Continuing the digital colour textile theme Verivide in association with Pantone brought visitors up to speed with the latest developments on colour capture and communication including a new hand-held device called Capsure that not only captures a digital image of a colour but also matches it to the nearest of 8,000 Pantone colours and free on-line dye colour recipes.
Also on-hand at the seminar was Manchester Metropolitan University, MMU, which in addition to offering one of Europe's most comprehensive choice of fashion design, technology and management courses, has a renowned research team that regularly engages in body shape and other fashion related research projects.
