Of application of artificial intelligence to fashion design

based on the analysis of cultural background of fashion

Abstract

We argue that how AI can be applied to the field of fashion design. Historically, fashion inherent peculiar negative attitude toward technology, related to the traditional thought against artistic object and mass production. This philosophical background would be significant for the evaluation of an impact of AI upon fashion design. Moreover, based on the analysis of the current technological character of AI and several experimental trial which AI designs fashion, AI has affinity with the design process in fashion. However, the current technological mechanism of AI corresponds with only primary research process in the inclusive flow of fashion design. The value system of fashion strongly depends on the sensibility of the fashion designer, and it closely linked with the inclusive process, rather than each step. Therefore, AI requires the symbiosis with human designers to create value in the context of fashion design.
