Unlike earlier AI applications, often marred by flaws like distorted faces or repetitive clichés, these new generative AI tools aim for seamless integration into the creative process, seeking to make the AI's involvement in content creation imperceptible to consumers. This shift holds promise and concern regarding the disruption of marketing roles. The tools offer a faster, more efficient way to generate a plethora of marketing materials for diverse platforms, potentially transforming advertising, e-commerce, and personalization. Facilitating quicker decision-making, brands can test various assets and create a wider array of personalized content, meeting the increasing demand for creative options and enhancing engagement with target audiences.
Let's delve into the best use cases of AI-driven marketing campaigns within the fashion industry.
1. Vogue Italia and Bella Hadid
Vogue Italia spotlights AI in its May issue, featuring supermodel Bella Hadid. Styled by Imruh Asha and photographed in a studio by Carlijn Jacobs, the visuals seamlessly integrate a real fashion campaign with backgrounds crafted on DALL-E 2 by OpenAI. Described as a 'creative collaboration,' the project signifies a harmonious effort between the photographer, AI, and the stylist.
Vogue writer Michele Fossi elaborates on the unique challenge, highlighting the interplay between human creativity and artificial imagery. Fossi notes, “With the support of AI artist Chad Nelson, Jacobs undertook the unusual challenge of translating her creative vision into guidance for the 'machine,' resulting in a captivating fusion of human ingenuity and artificial intelligence.”
2. Casablanca for SS23
Entitled "Futuro Optimisto," the SS23 campaign was created by founder Charaf Taraj, in collaboration with photographer Luke Nugent and with the assistance of Midjourney. The campaign's visually striking imagery, resembling more of a painting than traditional photographs, draws inspiration from Mexico while maintaining a connection to Casablanca's distinctive brand identity. Notably, previous campaign images have been fed into the AI, creating a seamless evolution of the brand's visual narrative.
5. Revolve 20th anniversary campaign
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Revolve unveils the pioneering AI-generated billboard campaign named 'Best Trip.' Marking REVOLVE's inaugural entrance into AI for brand marketing and advertising, 'Best Trip' made its debut on April 3rd with billboards along the CA 10 highway en route to Palm Springs. Along with the campaign, Revolve has created a capsule collection from AI-generated designs, achieving a sell-out within hours on Revolve.com. This milestone positions Revolve as the first agency to officially curate a collection exclusively derived from AI-generated designs.
4. Culted and David King Reuben’s Louis Vuitton Portfolio
CULTURED Magazine commissioned artist David King Reuben to combine hyperrealistic A.I. Images with real clothing by Louis Vuitton. He created a 24-page portfolio showcasing the Spring/Summer 2023 Ready-to-Wear collection. Reuben, dedicated to late-night creative sessions, considers this project an act of creative destruction that poses a healthy challenge for the art and fashion industries.
