Episode 21 – Laura Zwanziger • Fit For Everybody | Bridging the Gap Between Designers and Factories
Description
What if most product errors weren’t design problems — but communication failures?
🎙️ In this episode of The Fashion Translator, Claire Lys sits down with Laura Zwanziger, Founder of Fit For Everybody, to unpack why apparel development breaks down long before production — and how clearer systems can dramatically reduce waste, cost, and confusion.
From tech packs and sizing inconsistencies to factory–designer misalignment, Laura shares how her background as a designer and supply-chain strategist led her to build a platform focused on precision, translation, and fewer sampling rounds.
This conversation explores:
• Why most sampling errors stem from miscommunication, not creativity
• How small structural gaps create compounding waste
• The hidden cost of Excel-based tech packs
• What factories actually need from designers
• How guardrails and clarity free up creative time
• Why better systems outperform more iterations
If you’re building, scaling, or producing apparel — this episode offers a grounded look at how clarity becomes leverage.
