Generative AI for Fashion Designers
This course explores how generative AI transforms modern fashion design, from ideation to virtual garment simulation. Participants learn to turn sketches and AI imagery into 3D outputs, mastering ethical, sustainable and innovative digital design practices that define the future of fashion.
At the end of the course, partecipants will receive an Istituto Marangoni Certificate
This high-level professional course explores how Generative Artificial Intelligence is reshaping contemporary fashion design, from concept ideation to virtual garment simulation and AI-powered imagery. The program empowers designers to use AI tools creatively and responsibly, balancing technological innovation with artistic authorship.
Participants will learn to transform their ideas from sketch to 3D garment, and from AI-generated imagery to production-ready output, mastering the tools that define the next frontier of digital fashion. Through lectures, workshops, and immersive experiences, the course emphasizes ethics, sustainability, and innovation in the integration of AI into advanced fashion design practice.
This course is designed for:
- Fashion designers, digital creators, and pattern technologists exploring AI-driven workflows.
- Clo3D/Style3D users seeking to integrate generative AI into their design pipeline.
- Creative directors, concept designers, and technical developers within fashion and apparel companies.
- Postgraduate students or professionals in digital fashion, 3D simulation, or fashion innovation.
- Freelancers
Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of fashion design or digital visualization workflows.
By completing this course, participants will graduate with:
- A professional digital portfolio including AI-driven concept boards, 3D garments, and animated visuals.
- Industry-ready technical documentation, including digital patterns and specification sheets.
- Practical fluency in tools like Clo3D, Krea.ai, and Firefly for integrated design workflows.
- Ethical and strategic understanding of AI’s creative, cultural, and technical implications in fashion.
- A global network of innovators, AI developers, and fashion design professionals through field visits and jury panels.
Participants will be able to:
- Utilize generative AI to conceptualize and prototype fashion collections.
- Translate AI concepts into 3D digital garments using advanced simulation tools.
- Create dynamic fashion imagery and video using AI-enhanced storytelling.
- Prepare production-ready outputs with AI-supported technical accuracy.
- Lead innovative design processes integrating ethics, sustainability, and human creativity.
