Innovative closet designs help consumers plan perfect wardrobes

Trend Themes
1. Hi-tech Closets - Consumers are attracted to products that help them save time. Smart Closets are items that promote efficiency and appeal to shoppers with hectic lifestyles. Solution may lie in coming out with a greater number of these designs.

Digitized wardrobes cater to the consumer's experience by making it easy for them to interact with their possessions.
3. Wearable Storage - Wearable storage is a new trend in the fashion industry. The trend is heading towards backpacks or bags that have been designed to store your entire closet giving consumers the freedom to carry their wardrobe with them wherever they go.
