With the success of two previous issues of Fashion, Style & Popular Culture (FSPC) on Fashion Innovation and Merchandising Technologies we now introduce a third on artificial intelligence. This volume will address artificial intelligence (AI), exploring how AI influences fashion creativity and design, how curated and digital consumption now takes place, and how the interconnected relationship between technology, brand delivery, and data collection manifests within fashion and retail. The edition will emphasize how contemporary technology will modify the creative element for fashion designers and content developers, and lead to new ways of delivering refined consumer information. The publication will be a compilation of scholarly research designed around a central theme under three distinct categories, producing holistic and relevant content. Whether it’s in the way we create and develop products and digital content and experiences through AI, how trends are captured through algorithms or ways digital fashion is delivered to and engaged by consumers through their devices, this volume will continue to reflect the zeitgeist of fashion and how it now runs parallel with technology. Topics can include, but are not limited to: 

 

AI and Design/Production

 

  • AI for accelerated design processes
  • Smarter production capabilities based on more refined forecasting and inventory analysis
  • Sustainable solutions for development and production
  • AI-generated product design, logos, and branding
  • Ethical aspects of AI-generated content

AI and The Media

 

  • Cultural movements and consumer engagement in the technological world
  • Algorithms and the changing nature of content and copywriting
  • Social media and the curated message
  • Branding and digital creations
  • Personalized experiences
  • Deep fakes
  • Content that sways opinion (fake content)
  • Generated reviews and consumer communication

 

AI and The Consumer
