■ About Virtusize’s latest offering
The school uniform industry has faced tremendous challenges with the changing times. An increasingly busy school schedule had already been impacting the time students have to participate in fitting sessions, but the necessity for innovation has only accelerated with the outbreak of COVID-19. A heavy burden has now been placed on parents and students to attend fitting sessions while making an effort to avoid the 3 Cs that contribute to the spread of the virus. To help solve these issues, "School Lifestyle" will now offer Virtusize on the e-commerce platform to let students select their optimal size from the comfort of their own home.
■ A comment from ITOCHU Corporation
One of the most common issues people face when purchasing clothing on the Internet is the "uncertainty about size". In order to alleviate this pain point for our students we have decided to partner with Virtusize, which has an industry leading size recommendation solution that is also customizable according to the various fit preferences of school uniforms.
Virtusize allows students and parents to order the size that best fits the student’s body shape from the comfort of their own home, eliminating the need to attend fitting sessions and reducing the workload on distributors and school personnel, all while avoiding the 3 Cs at fitting sessions.
With the school uniform industry undergoing drastic changes, ITOCHU pledges to be an industry leader in the digitalization of the industry, maximizing the potential of Virtusize by ensuring that all students on the School Lifestyle platform are able to use the size solution.

■ Summary of the Online Uniform Measurement Service
Traditionally, students have had to attend a school uniform fitting session onsite to choose a size that fits them well. By leveraging the capabilities of big data, machine learning, visual AI and design engineering, Virtusize makes it possible for students to measure themselves online at any time, wherever they may be, to select the best size based on their preferred fit.
Our online fitting solution provides students with the following:
- A comparison between the item and their personalized silhouettes, where students can choose which size to order based on fit and length
- A detailed size comparison between two items to check differences in measurements
- A product information page with additional details about the material, its stretchiness, etc.
- A UI/UX that simplifies the complexity of comparing multiple measurements all at once
