Patreon Preview from Blamo!Last month, Guess placed an ad in Vogue, featuring a flawless model wearing a striped maxi dress. Printed in small font along the ad's edge, there was a disclosure: this model was generated using AI. And this past week, J. Crew had to come clean about their use of AI technology to promote their Vans collab. Peter and Derek talk about what AI might mean for the menswear industry. How might it impact jobs and creativity? Or how could it change factory production? And what might it mean for the culture that gives our clothes meaning?**Listen to the entire episode and view all the shownotes on the Blamo! Patreon

But for others, it’s the seasonal collections, the lookbooks, the whole world they build around it.
