While traditional manufacturing has been based on high set-up and development costs spread over a mass market, digital imaging and manufacture have opened the doors to relatively small lot sizes. All this means is we're now able to involve the end user in a "cultural experience" where there's end user involvement (creation as well as voting,) and a story behind everything we wear. The value to is great. The consumer gets something truly unique and differentiating, not the same old crap from Wal Mart. At the same time manufacturing becomes decentralized and allows for the return to localized economy instead of outsourcing to China or some other third world country. Great post!
