Together, we’re pioneering the future of lingerie, swimwear, shapewear, and sportswear through relentless innovation, advanced technology, and strategic collaborations. Here’s a closer look at how we, with our ecosystem of industry experts, are pushing the boundaries of design, sustainability, and performance in the bodywear space.
One of the most pressing demands today is for sustainable, responsible production. Our partnerships with material innovators and eco-friendly fabric manufacturers have allowed us to develop bodywear that meets these standards without compromising on quality or style. Through collaborations with suppliers of Oeko-Tex certified ECONYL®, for example, we’re able to turn unwanted harmful ocean plastics into luxurious, sustainable garments. This commitment to circular design means that we’re producing beautiful products with minimal environmental impact, ensuring that our clients are as proud of their bodywear’s origins as they are of its fit and functionality.

London Contour Experts’ partnerships extend to some of the bodywear industry’s most advanced technology providers. Working with leaders in digital garment development, like Style3D and ASSYST, we’re implementing 3D and AI prototyping and virtual sampling. This shift significantly reduces our sample-making timeline and enables brands to visualise their products with stunning accuracy before they even reach the production stage. It’s a revolutionary approach that not only saves time but also slashes waste, allowing brands to design and refine with unprecedented precision.

At the cutting edge of London Contour Experts’ innovation initiatives is Bodywear Lab’s Microfactory — a dedicated space where technology meets craftsmanship to revolutionise how bodywear is made. This new microfactory setup allows our team to create product prototypes swiftly and with extraordinary precision, from initial design to final sample. Equipped with the latest in 3D printing, fabric bonding, and laser-cutting technology, the Microfactory empowers brands to experiment with new concepts and bring ideas to life in real time, minimising waste and optimising resources.

Through the Microfactory, Bodywear Lab can test fabric combinations, seam configurations, and fit adjustments on the spot, giving designers a unique level of creative control and insight. This flexible production model means that the time between design and tangible product is drastically reduced, making it easier for brands to adapt to market trends and customer feedback. By bringing the entire design, prototyping, and testing process under one roof, our Microfactory approach offers an agile solution to production that is efficient, sustainable, and groundbreaking in its potential to reshape the industry.
True inclusivity requires an in-depth understanding of diverse body shapes and the specific needs of various audiences. Our in-house fit specialists and designers allow us to create bodywear that offers exceptional support and comfort across a wide range of sizes and styles. From versatile sports bras that empower active lifestyles to luxury lingerie that celebrates all body types, each product is crafted with a deep commitment to fit and feel. By investing in collaborative research and product testing, we ensure that inclusivity is woven into the very fabric of our designs.
In addition, we’re harnessing the power of Style3D’s technology with soft body avatars to elevate our approach to fit and accuracy. These dynamic, life-like avatars allow us to simulate and evaluate how our designs conform to different body types, ensuring that each garment fits comfortably and moves naturally. This innovative technology enables us to achieve a more personalised fit for a wider audience, making it possible to anticipate and meet the unique needs of our customers with even greater precision.
Performance wear requires meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to fabric innovation and garment engineering. Through close collaboration with textile suppliers and fabric experts, we’re able to bring high-performance bodywear to life. London Contour Experts Bodywear Lab, for example, allows our partners to experiment with materials made with LYCRA® fibres, which offers both flexibility and durability, ensuring garments meet the demands of any activity. This performance-driven design approach not only enhances functionality but also sets new standards for quality and reliability.
At the heart of London Contour Experts’ innovation journey is a commitment to community and collaboration. Our Bodywear Collective, an exclusive platform at Performance Days and Functional Fabric Fair for industry professionals, exemplifies this mission. By gathering experts, designers, and brands in one space, we encourage a cross-pollination of ideas and skills that drive the industry forward. The Bodywear Collective allows us to explore shared challenges, celebrate breakthroughs and trends, plus develop solutions that benefit the bodywear industry as a whole. It’s a dynamic, ever-evolving community dedicated to growth, and we’re proud to be a part of it.

As we look to the future, we see limitless potential in our partnerships. Through shared vision, innovation, and expertise, we’re creating bodywear that not only meets current market demands but also anticipates the needs of tomorrow’s consumers. Each collaboration is a step towards a more innovative, inclusive, and sustainable bodywear industry. At London Contour Experts, we’re excited to continue this journey, driving change and inspiring the next wave of bodywear excellence. Together, with our partners, we’re not just designing products; we’re reshaping an industry, one innovation at a time.
