How can AI reinvent couture?

With headlines everywhere focusing on disposable plastics and air travel emissions, it's clear that our individual, everyday purchasing choices--from what we eat to how we get around--impact the world around us. But how about what we wear? According to the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, apparel manufacturing produces 20% of the world's water waste and up to 10% of its carbon output and sends more than 21 billion tons of textiles to landfills each year. But it's also a $2.4 trillion dollar industry that employs more than 60 million people worldwide. Considering this scale and impact, the industry is at a crossroads, devising disruptive technologies, rethinking business models, and searching for innovation at every step -- design, production, distribution, and reuse.
