ABOUT KALON COUTURE
Kalon Couture is THE online fashion destination where nothing would be out of stock and every order would be tailored to the customer's perfect fit. Only to take a one-time 3D body scan, then the customer will receive her made-to-measure garment at the door in two weeks at just the similar price as any typical ready-to-wear.
Kalon’s website is also equipped with a virtual try-on function where any chosen styles can be instantly projected on the customers’ 3D avatar. Customers can then visualise how the garments look on them without needing to queue for a fitting room!
Kalon has been selected as one of the Cyberport Incubatees, receiving various government sponsorships, and started its beta launch since March 2018.
