How do we handle fashion product variants (size, color, fit, etc.) with PIM?

Fashion products often need a 3-level structure (G-P-C):

Grandparent = the style or collection (e.g. “Classic T-Shirt”).
Parent = the variation by color/material (e.g. “Classic T-Shirt – Red”).
Child = the SKU-level item (e.g. “Classic T-Shirt – Red – Size M”).

Attributes:

Grandparent holds shared info (name, main description, brand).
Parent holds color/material-specific info (color names, fabric composition, images).
Child holds size-specific info (size, fit measurements, SKU, stock info).

Images & assets:

Store general campaign images at the grandparent.
Store color/material visuals at the parent.
Store size-specific visuals (if needed, like scale/fit shots) at the child.

Benefits:

Keeps product info consistent, avoids duplication.
Makes enrichment/updates easier (update once at the right level).
Matches how fashion retailers and marketplaces (like Zalando, Amazon Fashion, etc.) expect product hierarchies.
