Ideation Solutions, In a world where brand survival depends on connecting with consumers and having the ability to constantly re-invent yourself, ICI provides world class design, technical development, sourcing and product communication solutions. Brainstorming should never be done independently, design and manufacturing must be done together.

Our global supply chain with the experience on being a certified 37.5 fiber developer, we will build the bridge between ideation to functional product, with the highest technical ideas that will make our clients the leaders in their market.

Philosophy of Design, [er.go.nomi.ics] for Apparel: an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use and wear, with the most efficiency and comfort. ICI, believes that design starts with fabric application and the structure of patterns that achieves true performance and fit.
