Fashion Research Institute is a visionary company that develops effective design and development tools for the apparel industry and fashion designers. Using new technology such as virtual worlds, FRI has invented tools such as Virtual Runway(tm), which is a fully 3D, immersive virtual runway where designers can quickly and easily set up runway shows to showcase their current design work. Designers can easily show their work to manufacturers, design colleagues, and potential buyers and receive feedback and place sample orders before expensive physical prototype samples are created. Coupled with FRI's flagship product, Black Dress Design Studio, designers can design, showcase and develop their product up to the technical manufacturing specification, which is available in a password-protected PDF file that can be emailed or picked up from a secure web site.

Designers who want to add a lucrative new revenue stream can go a step further, and easily turn their designs into virtual goods, which can be licensed and sold just like real goods. FRI offers both training and licensing opportunities for designers who want to move into this burgeoning marketplace. FRI offers both simple, fast seminars as well as semester-long 3-credit college courses through the State University of New York/Buffalo State University distance learning program.

FRI has collaborated with such organizations as IBM and Intel to develop our visionary, innovative products and services. All of our products and services are backed by extensive research and testing. FRI offers design tools developed by fashion designers, for fashion designers, so you can be sure they will work for you.
