When we think of AI, we tend to think of robots an When we think of AI, we tend to think of robots and cyborgs 🤖 but the truth is most artificial intelligence happens behind-the-scenes in the form of software. In the fashion industry, AI is currently being used in a number of ways, from optimizing the supply chain to recommending products on eCommerce. In the next ten years, AI will radically shape not only how our clothes are made, but also how we market and sell both online and offline.

#DigitalFashion is ready to disrupt the whole indu #DigitalFashion is ready to disrupt the whole industry, but how we experience “wearing” it will depend on developments in AR & AI. Here our friends at @replicant.fashion are leading the charge with @clometrica #Repost @replicant.fashion ・・・ replicant.fashion helps friends from @clometrica, who are developing the first available app for tracking clothing on a person in real time. These are only the first steps, the technology will develop, but, of course, this is a breakthrough for the fashion industry, because it is with the help of such technologies that people will be able to create colorful photos and videos, interact with digital clothing, and discover the wonderful world of digital fashion. In the future, technology will help you choose physical clothing, which will make our planet cleaner and the fashion industry more sustainable. The clometrica app has a digital wardrobe that contains items from replicant.fashion. Very soon we will start the beta test. It's great that technology can make digital fashion more accessible, democratic, and sustainable! replicant.fashion помогает друзьям из @clometrica, которые разрабатывают первое доступное приложение для трекинга одежды на человеке в режиме реального времени. Это только первые шаги, технология будет развиваться, но, безусловно, это прорыв для индустрии моды, так как именно с помощью таких технологий люди смогут создавать яркие фото и видео, взаимодействовать с цифровой одеждой, открыть для себя прекрасный мир цифровой моды. В будущем технологии помогут выбирать и физическую одежду, что сделает нашу планету чище, а индустрию моды более устойчивой. В приложении clometrica есть цифровой гардероб, в котором собраны вещи из replicant.fashion. Совсем скоро мы начнем бета-тест. Здорово, что технологии могут сделать цифровую моду более доступной, демократичной и устойчивой! #digitalfashion #3dclothes #3dfashion #digitalfashionretail #3dfashiondesigner #clo3d #digitalart #digitalfashionshop #marvelousdesigner #replicant #digiclothing

When it comes to the fashion industry, AI is trans When it comes to the fashion industry, AI is transforming it for the better—thanks to a handful of up-and-coming companies that are harnessing its power to help consumers organize their closets, thrift smarter, and reject throwaway culture. Here are three startups using AI worth watching: 1) Whering - The app that helps you digitize your closet so you can better visualize and plan outfits. It uses machine learning to get to know your personal style and scale its own styling process. 2) ThredUp is pushing the limits of leveraging AI for pricing, personalization, and styling. Image recognition helps the company process millions of items by automating tagging, metadata inputs, and even pricing. 3) Newly launched FINESSE is trying to scale back fast fashion waste by using AI to better understand and predict purchasing behaviour. The apparel brand uses proprietary algorithms and machine learning to analyze fashion trends across the internet and lets their audience vote on what ‘fits should (and shouldn’t) be produced Full story on electricrunway.com 💻 Title Image via @evenprimeandco * * * * * #futurism #design #aesthetic #the #future #tech #wear #cyberpunk #innovation #fashion #fashiontech #ai #artificialintelligence #ai #artificialintelligience #apps #fashionapps #sustainablefashion #thrifting #machinelearning #exmachina #slowfashion #sustainability
