There is black, and then there is The shade defined as a black that reflects less than 0.5 percent of the light that hits it, is used on everything from telescopes to cameras. This uniquely dark color is not easy to produce and may appear less black when it is viewed at an angle. To find a better way to reproduce this cool color, a team at Cornell University looked to nature.

The fashion industry is an extremely profitable market that generates trillions of dollars in revenue by producing and distributing apparel, footwear, and accessories. This systematic literature review (SLR) seeks to systematically review and analyze the research landscape about the Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) and metaverse in the fashion industry. Thus, investigating the impact of integrating both technologies to enhance the fashion industry. This systematic review uses the Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, including three essential phases: identification, evaluation, and reporting. In the identification phase, the target search problems are determined by selecting appropriate keywords and alternative synonyms. After that 578 documents from 2014 to the end of 2023 are retrieved. The evaluation phase applies three screening steps to assess papers and choose 118 eligible papers for full-text reading. Finally, the reporting phase thoroughly examines and synthesizes the 118 eligible papers to identify key themes associated with GAI and Metaverse in the fashion industry. Based on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analyses performed for both GAI and metaverse for the fashion industry, it is concluded that the integration of GAI and the metaverse holds the capacity to profoundly revolutionize the fashion sector, presenting chances for improved manufacturing, design, sales, and client experiences. Accordingly, the research proposes a new framework to integrate GAI and metaverse to enhance the fashion industry. The framework presents different use cases to promote the fashion industry using the integration. Future research points for achieving a successful integration are demonstrated.

Visual communication, dating back to prehistoric cave paintings, is the use of visual elements to convey ideas and information. In today's visually saturated world, effective design demands an understanding of graphic design principles, visual storytelling, human psychology, and the ability to distill complex information into clear visuals. This dissertation explores how recent advancements in vision-language models (VLMs) can be leveraged to automate the creation of effective visual communication designs. Although generative models have made great progress in generating images from text, they still struggle to simplify complex ideas into clear, abstract visuals and are constrained by pixel-based outputs, which lack flexibility for many design tasks. To address these challenges, we constrain the models' operational space and introduce task-specific regularizations. We explore various aspects of visual communication, namely, sketches and visual abstraction, typography, animation, and visual inspiration.

Cross-modal fashion synthesis and editing offer intelligent support to fashion designers by enabling the automatic generation and local modification of design drafts.While current diffusion models demonstrate commendable stability and controllability in image synthesis,they still face significant challenges in generating fashion design from abstract design elements and fine-grained editing.Abstract sensory expressions, \eg office, business, and party, form the high-level design concepts, while measurable aspects like sleeve length, collar type, and pant length are considered the low-level attributes of clothing.Controlling and editing fashion images using lengthy text descriptions poses a difficulty.In this paper, we propose HieraFashDiff,a novel fashion design method using the shared multi-stage diffusion model encompassing high-level design concepts and low-level clothing attributes in a hierarchical structure.Specifically, we categorized the input text into different levels and fed them in different time step to the diffusion model according to the criteria of professional clothing designers.HieraFashDiff allows designers to add low-level attributes after high-level prompts for interactive editing incrementally.In addition, we design a differentiable loss function in the sampling process with a mask to keep non-edit areas.Comprehensive experiments performed on our newly conducted Hierarchical fashion dataset,demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art competitors.

As the buzz around ChatGPT continues, communication academics and experts say the AI-generated technology has uses for marketing and content creation but is far from replacing human creativity. This assessment was also found by researchers in Korea, who studied AI in fashion and textile design. The study compared human and AI-generated designs. And while they were similar, humans have an edge, the report found, while concluding that AI can help designers in the creative process. And it could open the door for nonprofessionals to create their own fashion designs. They discovered that AI has "a wide range of applications in fashion, from increasing efficiency of processes and reducing waste to improving the industry's overall functioning," authors of the report said in a statement, adding that while creative processes are not often automated, AI can help in the creative process of design.

The study titled'How complex systems get engaged in fashion design creation: Using artificial intelligence,' which was published in the journal Thinking Skills and Creativity, aimed to investigate the practical applicability of AI models to implement creative fashion designs and work with human designers.

Is artificial intelligence about to take over the fashion world, one runway at a time? AI-powered text-to-image generators like OpenAI's Dall-E and Midjourney have gone absolutely viral, and for good reason. Sure, they can produce some seriously nutty imagery, but at the end of the day it's the quality of that output, whether realistic or outlandish, that makes it so captivating -- not to mention useful. That in mind, these programs, though still in beta, are already starting to make their way into creative industries. And yesterday, Twitter got a taste of what the beginnings of text-to-image-generated fashion might look like.

The industries are flourishing and expanding and the technological advancements in the Fashion Industry are growing exponentially. With passing time, personalization has gotten much attention and has become one of the biggest trends, and Artificial Intelligence in the Fashion Industry is finding out new ways to analyse all the data and tailor designs according to people's preferences. AI has already acquired its position in the Fashion market and is growing at a rapid pace. Globally, the market size of AI in the Fashion market is estimated to grow to USD 1260 million by 2024 from USD 228 million in the year 2019 that is growing at a CAGR of 40.8 per cent between the year 2019-2024. The future of AI in the Fashion industry grows stronger and stronger as the demand from the customer to have a personalised experience, demand from the inventory management also plays a role in encouragement of the growth of AI in the Fashion market.

To Stitch Fix's "hybrid design" tool, fashion design is a puzzle work of 30 to 80 pieces. On the website of online personal shopping service Stitch Fix, the company features a customer review that reads, "I love that my stylist listens to my feedback. The personal note included in my Fix shows how much pride she takes in serving each client." Stitch Fix's personal stylist is the best of its kind. Indeed, few stylists in the industry has achieved the same level of success at outfit pairing and shopping recommendation.

Google's AI technology may be capable of putting on a trippy art show -- thanks to its neural network-powered DeepDream computer vision program -- but when Google turned its machine learning technology to the world of fashion via its new experiment Project Muze, the results were less than compelling. Designed in partnership with European e-commerce company Zalando, Project Muze is an attempt at building a neural network capable of making creative decisions resulting in virtual fashions that will be transformed into real-life clothing. The project is based on Google's open-source platform TensorFlow and consists of a neural network -- meaning, an algorithm that's modeled on the human brain -- and a set of aesthetic parameters, the company explains. Google showed the neural network things like color, texture and style preferences from more than 600 fashion experts to train it. It then learned to connect those preferences back to people with similar interests.
