Case Study 1: Project Virtual Showroom and 3D Prototyping at Versace

From January 2018 to January 2022, as the Head of Digital Innovation at Versace, I addressed the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted physical showroom access. I led the digital transformation by:

• Optimizing the existing Digital Asset Management (DAM) ecosystem into an online sales tool.
• Enabling wholesale clients to navigate new collections and place orders digitally.
• Introducing 3D samples to replace traditional sampling processes, especially when factories were shut down.

This initiative allowed Versace to continue its B2B sales operations globally, achieving an average turnover of €52 million per season, despite the prevailing crisis.
