In the coming future,AI having access to all your wardrobe information,Shopping Style, Preference,Frequency and Need,your experience of shopping online will soon become the most convenient option.
Soon with Google’s Data Mine,you will only see the Ad’s of things not there in your wardrobe or recommendations to buy those things not shopped yet.
Imagine recommendation engine working as a pop up on your phone through out ,which will show you clothes to buy based on your mood or rather I would say,it will manipulate you to purchase items which it feels you should buy based on your mood or shopping pattern.
For example- “Hey Saumya,I think you should buy a pair of Blue Denims to wear it with the white shirt you bought yesterday.
This classic pair is the perfect fit for your White Shirt. “
Imagine the Manipulative Digital Marketing Targeting Options!
In not so far future,the 3 D Printing technology will help us create physical copies of these recommendations suggested by AI.
The time is not far,where you will play ‘Fashion God’ for yourself by looking at the suggestions by the AI and having a physical copy of it in your hands in a matter of minutes.
For organizations who are working in design, Artificial Intelligence provides brand new possibilities within the fashion industry, although the commercial execution of AI within the fashion industry is highly difficult.
Therefore the question we shouldn’t ask is “Can AI really become my fashion designer?” The better and accurate question is “What kind of my fashion designer’s styles if enhanced through AI, will assist them to improve their work?”
Fashion with Technology is a strategic challenge. Research suggests that Artificial Intelligence will replace about 30 percent of the work done by fashion designers, so how are industries going to handle their workforce and provide new tools without estranging designers?
‘The secret to harnessing the quality which has driven success in the fashion industry for all this time is ‘Collaboration’
only this time, it’ll be with AI !’
