This article analyzes the advantages and specific features of using modern software tools in the processes of clothing modeling and construction. The integration of digital technologies—particularly CLO 3D, Optitex, Lectra, and other CAD systems—enhances the efficiency of fashion design, reduces time and material costs, and expands virtual testing capabilities. In addition, the application of these systems in educational settings allows for an interactive approach to design education. The article examines the technical and functional characteristics of various software tools, their differences, and practical advantages based on analytical research. The findings provide a solid theoretical and practical foundation for the implementation of innovative approaches in the field of clothing design.
