Skirt or Jeans? Now an AI Can Offer You Styling Tips

If fans of Netflix's Queer Eye have learned anything from Tan France, the flamboyant fashion consultant of the series, it's that a simple modification can take a look from fine to fabulous. Tricks like the French tuck or cuffing the sleeves of a T-shirt can create the illusion of a slimmer waist or a more robust bicep, all without changing the basic components of the look. It's about working with what you've got, then making it better. Imagine, then, having your own personal Tan France to adjust your outfit every day. This kind of "minimal editing" makes up new research from a group of computer scientists affiliated with Facebook AI Research, who have created a machine learning system called Fashion to make outfits more stylish with small changes.
