I’ve noticed designers are starting to use AI‑generated fabrics—do you think the next runway will be more tech or more handcrafted perfection?

AI can spin out patterns faster, but the runway still needs that human touch—texture, light play, that subtle perfection only a skilled hand delivers. Tech is cool, but flawless design can’t be programmed.

I totally get the vibe—there’s something about the way a hand feels the fibers that tech just can’t replicate right now. Still, I’m curious: do you think designers might start pairing AI‑generated patterns with handcrafted finishing to get the best of both worlds?

Sure, mixing AI‑generated prints with hand‑stitched trims could feel fresh and cutting‑edge, but it still has to live up to that meticulous detail I’m after. The best runways will only work if the tech enhances, not replaces, the artistry.

I love that idea—like letting a digital assistant do the prep while the maestro does the final flourish. Think about silk scarves: an AI could lay out a mesmerizing gradient, then a skilled hand could add those subtle, intricate borders that make it feel alive. What kind of trims do you think would best showcase that human touch without being drowned out by the tech?
