For example, a vision, illustration, draping, pattern making, cutting, sewing, and finish work. Nothing works better than the creative mind and hands...period. Thank you, Zoe, for your insight.
Thank you for discussing AI in fashion. I really enjoyed the story about your friend from college who refused to let a job take away her self respect. I'm on camp 'AI is a tool we can use to improve how we live' and I feel this video helped me affirm that with fashion design.
Copying the patterns of existing clothing is actually efficient, I am only against it if its used to duplicate the exact original designs and sold like its an "original"... In fashion school we were encouraged to do this so we could understand the fit and construction of garments, I have to say this process is actually helpful. I also remember when I interned and one of the senior pattern cutters used the jeans they had on, to start off the pattern cutting, then changed it up. The end design looked nothing like the original jeans! My lecturer once said all jeans would have come from a copy of Levi's jeans at some point, which is a valid point to make. I am also more open minded to using AI for initial design research, as it can really save some time and you can jump straight into making the actual garments. And I totally agree with you, fashion needs creative vision, no AI could ever compare to a skilled fashion designer!
Yes, and I should have clarified that using base patterns is efficient but this brand in particular is notorious for being in the news for knocking designer brands off.
Great video Zoe! I think there are definitely some positive aspects of AI, but these ethical discussions are really important for us to have now, so that we can set the tone for how AI is used responsibly in the fashion industry as well as other industries.
@@zoehongteaches it’s the whole move fast and break things. They have made a pact to never think of consequences as long as they can have their names on something “big” no matter now terrible.
Wow, you did point out what AI cannot do and we need to keep that in mind. Funny when the internet started many designer houses were afraid that their designs were going to be copied much quicker because the new medium and as you mentioned we are still having runway presentations. Thanks for all the great content Zoe Hong!
@@FridelainYes sadly its true, even from the producing aspect a small business can't compete price wise as the amount of fabric one get is nothing compared to the bigger companies as SHEIN as well as the manufacturing aspect. However all a small business do is create original garments.
I appreciate your take on these things, Zoe! My issue with using Chat GPT or AI is that - as a creative person - I want control over what I create. As much as I've tried to use it (for writing blog or social media posts, or creating workshops) - I'm not able to use it because I can't let go. I want to my words to be MINE, crafted by me. I will, however, use it to see if Chat GPT comes up with an idea I missed. (Possibly like your calculator analogy...) So I can see AI being used by other various creatives in a similar manner, just to see if they missed something. But if someone is truly creative and proud of their own work, I'd think they'd want to put their own unique stamp on their creations. I don't see someone genuinely, through-and-through creative relinquishing control to AI.
Yeah, I think most people will still be editing these renderings to suit their own tastes. I don't find it any different than a CD tweaking a designer's flat before getting a first sample made.

I studied fashion design in a very low quality school (I'm Venezuelan) and I also work as a copywriter. I am a very cerebral person, so the process of creating the concept and then turning that into designs was my favorite part, I was never big on actually sewing. And just like with my work as a copywriter, a computer cannot compete with the capacity of a human to bring elements from all over the place into a coherent look that carries on for an entire collection or with a human brain capable of finding the right angle needed to communicate a particular message. Do they save time with the research? Yes. Can they take your job as someone with an artistic side? Hell no. Creativity is a human thing.
Oh, thank you for this! Yes, AI is a tool, and yes, it has uses, but yes, yes, and yes. Interestingly enough, one of the other discussions I've seen floating around is the use of AI and Blockchain to help validate supply chains in the world of sustainable fashion, to help make the supply/production chain more traceable, and that's something I'm really hoping does start happening!
Thank for Sharing...Challenge Accepted. I am part of R & D with A.I. with Advanced Robotics Engineering, Efficient Resourcing & Assembly Line Manufacturing...Lets put that to the Test 😊👍👍We Don't STOP.
Hey Zoe, have you ever talked about research essays or papers for fashion writers, students or enthusiasts? I've seen books on how to become designer and colour theory videos, but I'm not sure if this is something you've spoken about yet.
That’s another great video Zoe. I love your specific point on AI not being able to be a visionary as the data it is based on is old. Only visionaries see magic that is yet to come. Guess we humans like the element of surprise a bit too much😂
I'm sure they will build machines to run predictions, but I still it'll be up to a person to sift through these predictions and pick some and inspire people. People predict incorrectly all the time so...
I got AI to write some really great knitting and crochet patterns. I haven't tried sewing patterns yet, but I'm excited. People always fear the unknown, especially technology. People thought machines would take all our jobs before, yet I still have to work. Lol I have less fear of AI as whole than I do mankind. I'm excited to see how and where this makes our lives better and easier.
I agree with all this. However, I wonder- do you think that copycat culture and fast fashion is drawing consumers to sameness and causing them to appreciate originality less?
I think it will be the opposite and even now customization is becoming increasingly popular and brands are trying to give options that are cost efficient.
exactly AI is only as smart as we make it…. chatgp is fun to use… But yeah creativity is an art form in its self which comes from being a human not computer
I have used chatgpt to help me script a difficult email, but in the end, I did edit it and personalize it some, so I can see the pros and cons. It was a cool experience for sure though.
Sure. What about textile design or digital illustration? Where Ai is not part of the process but the result itself? Today I was told I am just complaining about it, that there are always new competitors or someone doing better than you, that artists will find other ways to thrive and market their art, so Ai doesn’t have an impact basically on what they’re doing and that they should just smile and move on! I don’t agree at all. In those 2 cases, it would partially replace human-generated art! It should be a tool, GREAT, but where is ART? The real one, not a bunch of images edited by an algorithm which resembles it! SMH!
I never said we should smile and move on about all AI. I said I had to focus on fashion design because that's my area of expertise and I couldn't adequately discuss all areas AI touches.

You're welcome!

People need to think more about whether or not we should create a certain kind of tech before they just launch themselves into something willy nilly.

Tons of people are being stolen though
Shein has entered the chat 😅😂 Big brands are doing "fine", but small brands/designers are being murdered (metaphorically).

This was a clear explanation of AI and how it works and relates to fashion. Thank you!
Interesting video! Beautiful eyeshadow btw :)
Runways are a social event. They might never go away.
I agree with you! People love them too much.
Thanks Zoe for explaining this topic in such an easy way to understand.

This discussion was great!

Very relevant video. Well all your videos are relevant. This one helped me process my thoughts because I was on the fence about AI in fashion.
Thank you for this video! Very good info on how not to listen to anyone, but trust your gut and work hard.
Great Episode! thank you so much for covering this topic! And I absolutely adore your head wear!
Thanks!
Zoe, we need an eye makeup tutorial ;) That eyeshadow is divine on you!
hahaha nothing fancy, the green-purple duochrome does all the work!
Thank you! Zoe!

Side note but loving the killer eye makeup and glittery hat combo, such a good match
So happy you made this video ❤
great, straightforward explanation! I was a little worried.
So love this pod cast❤❤❤

Thank you! ❤
I haven't seen this perspective on AI before and it's refreshing tbh

What tablet would you suggest to buy for drawing fashion illustrations
Please make more videos about the future in fashion
I agree, AI is a tool not a replacement!
Yup!
Me as a fashion designer i use ai as a helping tools
And it really ease my job
What is the length of the third leg?
Hey Zoe, have you ever talked about research essays or papers for fashion writers, students or enthusiasts? I've seen books on how to become designer and colour theory videos, but I'm not sure if this is something you've spoken about yet.
Talk about. them in what way? What questions do you have?
That’s another great video Zoe. I love your specific point on AI not being able to be a visionary as the data it is based on is old. Only visionaries see magic that is yet to come. Guess we humans like the element of surprise a bit too much😂

what makes me panic is the speed of AI progress. We never know what kind abilities will comes out from more and more data been feed
Maam teach me every thing related to fashion.

I tried to make ChatGPT create a Bill of Labor for me (i hate doing it so much), and it came so close but so far, I was very sad
Aww, I guess AI still has a ways to go!
Hi dear ur looking very beautifully🥰😍
Great video Z
Thanks!

F*ck yeah. AI is an *ART TOOL* not the final product. People misuse art tools all the time.
Greedilous by Tilda, anyone? AW 22 (Flowers on Venus) was entirely AI, then made by YOUNHEE

hahahaha
Really wish mankind fashion could hold the land from AI！！！PLZ ！
