The Fourth Industrial Revolution is based on digitalization where virtual and physical systems of manufacturing are linked and operate together. Fashion products are of a great interest not only as items used to cover and protect the body but even to express individuality, personality and attractiveness. Due to the high interest of consumers for fashion items or products, fashion industry is one of the most important industries globally due to its effect on economic growth. As a result, companies try to invest continually on new technologies by implementing them in various processes of production. The aim of this paper is to present here the implementation of advanced technologies for various fashion products as garments, jewelery and accessories. These products are modelled, evaluated and produced by using 3D modelling software, simulation and additive manufacturing as some of the pillars of Industry 4.0 will be presented. The reduced time, waste and advantages to create, visualize and evaluate products at early stages of product creation are some of the advantages of these technologies, part of Industry 4.0 in the fashion industry.
