Sarajevo's Zorana Kozomara to Use OptiTex for Fashion
 PETACH TIKVA, Israel
and PARIS, France, Feb 8, 2008 - OptiTex, the leading software manufacturer
for the fashion and textile industries, is enhancing the production
possibilities for designer Zorana Kozomara, who has added PDS with grading
and the OptiTex 3D Runway Creator as core tools within her design workshop.
Kozomara virtual vs. real
With the OptiTex software, clothing designers such as Kozomara can create
entire lines virtually, allowing them to “see” clothes in production before
a single pattern is cut. This competitive advantage in speed to market and
elimination of fabric waste helps ensure a rapid ROI.
Combining Kozomara’s creativity with the OptiTex technology enhances her
ability to design accessible clothing for the working woman. Having the
OptiTex solutions in her workshop lets her provide clients with high-end
fashion at high value.
“We decided to partner with OptiTex because its software dealt with
several of our key concerns,” says Kozomara. “It addressed our environmental
concerns in that I could design without wasting paper, fabric and muslin. We
are already profiting from it immensely.”
The allure of the OptiTex platform is in the range of options, both in
the design software and the 3D model. The enhanced possibilities the
software provides extends to movable toolbars and dialog boxes, allowing
designers to customize their work environments.
“All of our products are engineered with the creative individual in
mind,” says Ran Machtinger, President and CEO of OptiTex, Ltd. “Our software
expands the ways in which designers can approach their work, reducing the
limitations of standard production technology.”
Kozomara recognizes that the future of fashion industry is in
technological advancement, and she is determined to play a role in that
change.
“I’m enjoying the enhanced creative freedom the technology provides,”
adds Kozomara. “OptiTex offers the most user friendly software available. We
were able to install and begin designing with it immediately.”

About Zorana Kozomara
A native of war torn Sarajevo, Zorana developed an interest in fashion at
an early age. Her grandmother, a custom tailor and high-end seamstress,
would often discuss the angles and symmetries of the human form with a young
and curious Zorana.
She left Sarajevo with her family at the age of 14 for China, where her
father was pursuing a new business venture. It was there that she became
passionate about art and received her first professional experience with a
local Hong Kong fashion design house.
At 18, Zorana returned with her family to Sarajevo, intent on serious
study and possibly opening her own shop. A year later, war broke out and the
region was thrown into chaos. Her family scattered and resources plundered,
she fled to Paris where she studied Art History and International Finance,
earning bachelor’s degrees in both disciplines at the acclaimed University
of Paris, Sorbonne.
Zorana later moved to Canada, where she earned an additional Bachelor’s
degree in Fashion Design and took up a position with Canada’s leading
apparel company. But just when she thought that this would finally be her
beginning in the world of fashion, personal problems occurred and she had to
leave to The Hague, Netherlands.
At the same time Zorana was very saddened and disturbed watching all the
atrocities committed in her homeland of Yugoslavia. Wanting to make a social
contribution in 2002 she joined United Nations Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia.
Her passion for art, beauty and fashion rekindled, Zorana set out to
realize her earlier vision by creating “Kozomara” in mid 2005 with her own
financing. Now in its third collection, Kozomara is looking to take self
expression to a new level with an eclectic mix of styles.
