AI redefines the catwalk

The Island

|

August 16, 2025

The fashion industry, long celebrated for its artistry, craftsmanship, and constant reinvention, is undergoing a transformation that goes beyond seasonal trends. Artificial Intelligence (AI), once confined to the realms of science labs and tech companies, is now making its presence felt from the design studio to the retail floor. From predicting style trends to personalising shopping experiences, AI is redefining how fashion is conceived, produced, marketed, and consumed.

- BY STARR WRITER

For decades, fashion forecasting relied on human trendspotters, runway analysis, and cultural cues. While these methods are still relevant, AI has introduced a level of precision and speed that was previously unimaginable. Advanced algorithms now analyse millions of images, social media posts, online searches, and even weather patterns to predict what colours, fabrics, and silhouettes will resonate with consumers months in advance.

Companies like Heuritech and Edited use AI-driven image recognition and data analytics to assess what influencers and consumers are wearing in real time. The results help brands make informed decisions about upcoming collections, reducing the guesswork and risk associated with seasonal releases. This approach is particularly valuable in a fast-paced market where missing a trend can mean a significant slice of revenue.

The creative process, traditionally the domain of human intuition, is also benefiting from AI. Generative design tools, powered by machine learning, allow designers to input parameters such as fabric type, sustainability goals, or target demographic, and receive multiple design suggestions almost instantly.

Some designers have embraced AI as a collaborator. The late fashion visionary Karl Lagerfeld once remarked that “the pencil and the mouse” could coexist; now, it seems the pencil and the algorithm can, too. Tools like DeepArt and Google’s DeepDream have been adapted by designers to create unique patterns, graphics, and garment structures. AI is not replacing the designer’s imagination but expanding its possibilities.
