The relationship between fashion and technology is constantly changing. Whether its robot dogs at Coperni or Gucci’s step into the metaverse, these two industries are constantly overlapping. Now, New York is set to host the very first AI Fashion Week. So here is everything we know about the event so far.
AI Fashion Week will be taking place in New York from 20th April – 21st April 2023. The event will be backed by Spring Studios and Revolve, working to promote designers that use AI as a tool in their creative process. The event is open to submissions and received over 350 so far, some of which have been teased on Instagram in the build-up to the event. From what we have seen of the shared submissions, the designs have been extremely varied, demonstrating the endless creative possibilities that AI can provide.
While all the submissions that we have seen so far have been extremely impressive, there will only be three winners that will have their collections made “bringing the digital AI generated into the real world.” These collections will then be able to be bought online, bringing designs from the forefront of technology into people’s real-life wardrobes.
If you are a budding designer using AI, the applications are open until April 15th, so there is still time to get your entry in. There is a list of guidelines on their website, but as long as you follow these and get your application in before the deadline you stand a chance at winning.
Now, the fun isn’t just for the designers. If you’re a fashion enthusiast, this is a great opportunity to witness fashion history in the making. While the opening event on April 20th will only be available to a select few, the space will open to the public on April 21st, so make sure you get down to Spring Studios if you can.
