The pioneering fashion brand, G-Star, has introduced the world’s first AI-generated design brought to life with the groundbreaking AI Denim Cape.
With brands exploring the potential of AI-driven fashion, G-Star RAW, known for its expertise in denim, is breaking new ground. They are the first to transition an AI-generated design from the digital realm to a tangible creation. This move highlights the practical application of AI in the fashion industry.
To develop the innovative piece named the “AI Denim Cape,” G-Star RAW collaborated with the artificial intelligence app Midjourney. Through a series of prompts, the core design team created 12 distinct designs, combining state-of-the-art technology with classic design principles.
One design concept generated by AI was chosen for manual crafting in the G-Star atelier, resulting in an original RAW denim couture piece. The AI Denim Cape, crafted from premium raw denim, features futuristic 3D ‘G’ shapes on the arms, an adjustable waistband, intricate stitching patterns on the chest, and subtle G-Star branding on the inner side. This unique garment blends cutting-edge technology with G-Star’s iconic design ethos, showcasing their denim expertise and precision craftsmanship, elements that remain exclusive to human capabilities.
From Chat GPT to Midjourney, artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming indispensable in various fields. However, instead of viewing AI as a rival, G-Star RAW embraces it as a creative partner, pushing the boundaries of denim design through an innovative collaboration between technology and human artistry.
Gwenda van Vliet, CMO of G-Star RAW, emphasized the brand’s commitment to innovation, stating, “Innovation is ingrained in the G-Star DNA. We believe in empowering our fashion designers to bring their ideas to life through AI. While anyone can generate designs using AI, at G-Star RAW, we possess the expertise to transform these designs into tangible garments. We perceive AI as a tool to enhance the creative process, not replace it.”
The AI Denim Cape will be prominently showcased at the G-Star RAW Antwerp store in Belgium, marking a significant milestone as the first garment envisioned by Artificial Intelligence and manifested in reality.
