Abstract

The contribution brings together some initial reflections of an ongoing research on the relationship between fashion and artificial intelligence. Within the theoretical framework of posthuman fashion, some international case studies, which represent the first experiments of introducing A.I. in fashion design, will be analysed. From here, reflection will involve the role of numbers, big data and static probability in this dynamic field of research and innovation. The aim of this contribution is to question the current and future role of fashion designers and how the fashion system could change through human-machine collaboration.
