3DLOOK joined Ralph Lauren’s Ideathon 2020 hackathon initiative to engage forward thinkers of the next generation in creating a better future for the fashion retail industry. In the brand’s pursuit to inspire a better life, Ralph Lauren is exploring ideas that will benefit society and lead to a more sustainable future.

The 24-hour Ideathon, hosted by The Wharton School’s Jay H. Baker Retailing Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from January 24 to 25, attracted over 150 Wharton and UPenn students across majors, about 70% of whom were women. Participants were divided into 18 groups and challenged to create and pitch real-world solutions based on specific challenges defined by Ralph Lauren. There was a $10,000 cash prize for the winner of each challenge.

3DLOOK was happy to join Ideathon as a tech partner. Whitney Cathcart, a co-founder of 3DLOOK and the company’s Chief Strategy Officer, showed Wharton and UPenn students the possibilities of 3DLOOK’s tech in tackling the core challenges of the hackathon.

An AI-first technology company focused on personalization in retail, 3DLOOK is transforming how brands use data on customers’ body types and measurements with their body data platform.

3DLOOK helps brands pursue their sustainability goals through a better understanding of the shapes of their customers’ bodies. Brands can use data provided by 3DLOOK technologies to design better fitting clothing and reduce waste. That can lead to reducing the number of returns and improving the way apparel is made.
