What AI will do
- Generating design variants and colourways
- Producing technical specification sheets
- Trend forecasting from social media data
What keeps you human
- Defining original aesthetic vision and cultural relevance
- Crafting garments with physical texture and presence
- Understanding the human body and self-expression
