AI-assisted fashion ideation
Use Mercer’s AI design tools to start from inspiration photos, hand sketches, CADs, tech packs, or text-based prompts and move into early concept work on the web platform.
Mercer
RivendicaMercer is a web-based fashion design and production platform for moving from concept to collection with AI, collaboration, file management, and production handoff.
Fashion design and production workspace
Mercer is a web platform for fashion product design and development that brings concepting, collaboration, and production workflows into one place. The site presents it as a tool for independent designers, small fashion houses, established brands, and teams that already have or want to coordinate with production partners.
The platform supports multiple starting points, including inspiration photos, hand sketches, CADs, tech packs, and AI-generated concepts. Its core workflow centers on managing collection assets, giving feedback on files, assigning tasks, and exporting or sharing collection details for production and review.
Core capabilities
Brand-specific model training
Train custom fine-tuned AI models specific to your brand using reference imagery from past collections or inspiration boards to keep new work aligned with your visual direction.
Centralized collection management
Create, upload, store, manage, and update creative assets in one place so collection work stays organized across images, video, 3D files, and spreadsheets.
Collaborative file review
Add comments, notes, measurements, and tasks directly on creative and technical files to keep feedback attached to the work instead of in email threads.
Sharing and export workflows
Export collection details to print-ready files and share designs through PDFs and collection links with teammates or production partners.
Task and timeline tracking
Use tasks, checklists, timelines, and reviews to assign work and keep production progress visible across the team.
Common workflows
Early-stage concept development
Start a collection from sketches, inspiration imagery, CADs, or a text prompt, then iterate with Mercer’s AI tools before moving into technical review.
Team review and approval
Keep files, notes, comments, and measurements attached to the same collection so designers and collaborators can review work without relying on separate email threads.
Collection coordination
Assign tasks, track timelines, and organize reviews to keep collection milestones moving through development and production.
Manufacturer handoff
Share print-ready PDFs and collection links with production partners who may not have a Mercer account, reducing the need for external file transfer tools.
Brand consistency management
Train brand-specific AI influences from past collections or inspiration boards to keep new product development closer to an established visual direction.
