We are delighted to offer an on-site Alvanon Fit Studio at the FC Designer Workspace, Alvanon, are global leaders in sizing and fit technology.

Featuring a full line-up of Alvanon’s European Standard fit forms* (available in men’s, women’s, and children’s), the studio can be rented by brands looking to test their fit standards, or used by designers seeking forms that represent realistic body shapes.
