Dec 27 (Reuters) – At the Fashion X AI show in Hong Kong, attendees noted a sort of “alien” quality about the new clothes modeled on the event’s narrow catwalk. The design is not entirely human.

The show spotlighted over 80 costumes by 14 designers. All of this was created with the help of artificial intelligence software AiDA, which stands for “AI-based interactive design assistant”. His AiDLab based in Hong Kong.

Monochrome blue masked models strode past lines of critics and fashion designers, dressed in everything from puffer jackets to translucent skirts.

Attendee Cynthia Tse said she felt like she was witnessing the future of fashion at the Dec. 19 show.

“I think face coverings are definitely alien-like and exciting,” said Tse.

According to Calvin Wong, CEO of AiDLab, the software was created to act as a “helping tool” for designers.

“AiDA is an assistant for fashion designers to work collaboratively. Designers and AI can work together to come up with the final collection,” said Wong.

Wong said the AiDA system is supported by AI technologies such as image recognition, detection and image generation. A designer can upload rough sketches, materials, and his palette of colors to a virtual moodboard. The software’s algorithms generate a blueprint that designers can tweak and add their own flair to.

Wong said the system can create a large number of fashion templates within 10 seconds, saving designers valuable time.

Hong Kong-based fashion designer Mountain Yam has been using AiDA for the past six months and says it has not only saved her time, but has inspired her.

“Our relationship is comparable to a romantic one in that I gradually got to know her (AiDA) and she gradually got to know my designs.My lines, my style. , According to the database, the system suggests something to me that I may not have thought of, but I think she (AiDA) is suitable for me. I believe we are building a

Fashion designer Yulia Torilli said she wanted AI design to be at the forefront of her collections, not as radical as the futuristic collection she helped design when she started her career.

“I think AI is full of possibilities. It’s a great opportunity for students and professors to really collaborate in this very interesting field,” says Tlili.

AiDA was officially launched at the Fashion X AI show and is available to designers in Europe and Asia Pacific.
