AI ‘no substitute’ for fashion designers’ creativity – Innovator

AI is transforming the fashion world but the fast growing technology will never be a replacement for designers’ “original creativity”, according to the head of a pioneering project.

Fashion innovator Calvin Wong has developed the Interactive Design Assistant for Fashion (AiDA) — the world’s first designer-led AI system.

It uses image-recognition technology to speed up the time it takes for a design to go from a first sketch to the catwalk.

“Designers have their fabric prints, patterns, colour tones, initial sketches and they upload the images,” Wong told AFP.

“Then our AI system can recognise those design elements and come up with more proposals for designers to refine and modify their original design.”
