Industry leading customization expert SRGN Academy partners up with swatchbook to elevate the fashion customization experience and make it accessible from anywhere in the world in a digital way.
SRGN Academy and swatchbook announced their partnership today that will bring SRGN’s unique customization capabilities to swatchbook’s revolutionary design and customization app “remix.” This brings the “Never Stop Creating” mission to anyone who wants to participate in exclusive design and customization challenges in an all digital format directly on their favorite Apple devices - including iPhone, iPad & Vision Pro.
Background
Founded by Dominic “The Surgeon” Ciambrone, SRGN is a Los Angeles-based collective of creatives, built to inspire, further the industry and push the unique and timeless craft of custom shoe making and design. By offering a wide array of custom-tailored solutions – from design and development to integrated marketing and branded experiences – we strive to invigorate our clients at the highest level. Based on our philosophy and dedication to the craft, we don't compromise on materials or time. The products we create are made to last and made to wear.
swatchbook has created the world’s largest library of digital materials by working with the largest fashion brands in the world and their supply chain. In addition to the digital material library, swatchbook has developed tools and applications for desktop and mobile that revolutionize how designers work with 3D assets and materials. Most recently, the content and the technology available for enterprise customers has been brought to consumers with the application remix for Vision Pro. remix allows anyone to be their own designer by accessing 3D silhouettes and highest quality digital materials. For subscribers, swatchbook delivers monthly drops of silhouettes and collections from suppliers around the world.
What is it?
The idea of remix is simple: take a 3-dimensional design and collections of digital materials - and apply them to the individual parts of the design with a simple tap. Any combination of materials goes - and your design comes to life in realtime - right in front of your eyes. You can spin it around and view your design from all angles, zoom into the details, or look at your creation as a whole. You can also place your design into the real world using the integrated AR feature which will then capture the lighting from your environment you place it in. Even better, you can continue to design in AR. Remixers can also save their design, and share them with anyone directly or through their favorite social media app. Again - this is on any Apple device, anywhere, anytime.
The Partnership
The partnership between swatchbook and SRGN Academy combines a revolutionary design app and a multitude of varying categories and designs in an all digital form, allowing anyone to become a student of shoe and apparel customization and design. Subscribers will enjoy frequent drops of both silhouettes and materials, carefully curated by SRGN Academy and swatchbook. In addition to these drops subscribers will be invited to exclusive design competitions with surprise awards.
“We are teaching our students to build their dream sneakers by hand,” says Dominic “The Surgeon” Ciambrone. “Now with swatchbook, not only our students but any creative is able to visualize their ideas digitally, and with incredible detail. Through “remix” you get to see your vision come to life right away before making the first cut, from anywhere in the world.”
Yazan Malkosh, CEO and Founder of swatchbook states: “We have been collaborating with SRGN Studios and SRGN Academy for quite some time. Being able to extend their craft to millions of people with our technology, allowing anyone to be their own designer and customizer, is truly magical. To us this is the future of design - make your audience part of the design process.”

remix is available immediately for download in the AppStore for iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro. Initial access is free, while subscriptions start at $9.99 per month. For a limited time SRGN Academy and swatchbook are offering promotional discounts for annual subscriptions of up to 50% off.
