NEW YORK:  The Stefania Everenn brand, helmed by designer and founder Stephanie Pennington, is bringing versatile, elegant pieces to customers that brides can use for multiple occasions, including wedding days, engagements parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and honeymoons with augmented reality (AR) and 3D technologies. The Stefania Everenn collection is the first of its kind to use this technology, which allows customers to view the inside and outside construction of each piece, allowing buyers to make confident purchases at a distance. Customers can view the gowns true to their size using their mobile device and in the comfort of their home before visiting a boutique, making the bridal industry more sustainable by reducing waste, costs and production lead time.
