Google has already tested the waters of user-driven AI fashion design with Project Muze, an experiment it deployed in partnership with German fashion platform Zalando. The project trained a neural network to understand colors, textures, style preferences, and other `aesthetic parameters,' derived from Google's Fashion Trends Report as well as design and trend data sourced by Zalando. From there, Project Muze used an algorithm to create designs based on users' interests and alignment with the style preferences recognized by the network. At the same time, Amazon's Lab126 R&D arm in California would use images to learn about a particular fashion style and create similar images from scratch. You can call it `fast fashion by Amazon,', because it probably is. The e-commerce giant has also patented a manufacturing system to support on-demand apparel-making. The tech could be used to support its Amazon Essentials line or the suppliers in Amazon's logistics network. Tommy Hilfiger recently announced a partnership with IBM and the Fashion Institute of Technology. The project uses IBM AI tools to decipher, real-time fashion industry trends, customer sentiment around Tommy Hilfiger products and runway images, resurfacing themes in trending patterns, silhouettes, colors, and styles. The textile sector is one of the largest contributions to India's exports with approximately 11 percent of total exports. The country's overall textile exports during FY 2015-2016 stood at USD 40 billion and the industry is expected to reach USD 223 billion by 2021. It clearly shows the fresh space created for technology to get in and make itself comfortable for a permanent stay.Point is, technology and Textile & Apparel industry are getting married and we all are invited to witness the most unforeseen pair.
