LONDON, 17 September 2025 – 1 in 3 garments are returned due to poor fit, fuelling fashion’s waste crisis, according to Shopify’s 2024 Fashion Industry Report. Fashion-tech startup Fittora is tackling the problem head-on with the launch of its AI-powered, made-to-order clothing platform – offering consumers perfectly tailored, sustainable pieces, without a single fitting room visit.
Using proprietary computer vision technology, Fittora calculates a customer’s exact measurements from just a few uploaded selfies. Experienced stylists then refine AI recommendations, while skilled pattern makers and tailors craft each garment to order. The result: one-of-a-kind, waste-free fashion delivered worldwide within six weeks, at a UK price point starting from £80–£130 – making “tailored accessible luxury” a reality for consumers for the first time.
Tackling fashion’s waste problem
The fashion industry generates massive waste (according to new data from Boston Consulting Group, 2025 ). Global textile waste reached 120 million metric tonnes in 2024, with 80% dumped or burned – losing about $150 billion in raw materials annually. If left unchecked, this could exceed 150 million metric tonnes by 2030. The environmental toll is particularly high. Producing textiles – from extracting raw materials to manufacturing – accounts for 92% of the fashion industry’s greenhouse gas emissions. Fittora’s on-demand model meets the challenge head on by eliminating overproduction.
“Fittora is where innovation meets intention,” said Nicola Bond, Founder and CEO of Fittora who previously drove growth for Marks & Spencer’s International Division. “We’re giving people clothes that are as unique as they are – and we’re doing it without fuelling the waste of mass production. AI accelerates the design process, helps us understand fit and style at scale, but it’s the human touch in styling and craftsmanship that makes each piece unique.”
