GLOBAL FASHION INSTITUTE EQUIPS INDIA'S TATA TRENT DESIGN TEAM WITH GENERATIVE AI FOR VISUAL DOMINATION

Istituto Marangoni Mumbai has built a solid status as India's premier bridge between fashion & design education and corporate innovation, delivering a game changing two part AI training programme exclusively for Tata Trent, the powerhouse behind Westside, Zudio, and the design team.

On 22nd and 30th January 2026, Istituto Marangoni Mumbai's tutors, Lianne Throwbridge - unit leader, Mevin Murden - Director of Education & tutor Ashay Chaturvedi re-imagined Tata Trent's creative teams, equipping them with Midjourney, the same generative AI platform powering global luxury houses and design studios. This wasn't a theory. This was hands-on creative training.

AI to Fast Track Visual Direction

The sessions zeroed in on accelerated mood boarding compressing what used to take days into minutes of precision visuals. Tata Trent professionals learned to:

• Visualise trends before competitors even name them
• Test 10 aesthetic directions before committing to production
• Predict market aesthetics with precision
• Streamline creative workflows 

Why Tata Trent Chose Istituto Marangoni Mumbai

The institute's Corporate Training & Continuing Education division, now a global benchmark, merges creative intelligence with digital implementation, serving everyone from heritage brands to Indian conglomerates.
