## Resource

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.
