Artificial intelligence is already a reality of our life. There is no such sphere where digital technologies are not applied now. And fashion is no exception. Smart mirrors, virtual fitting rooms, body scanners, 3D printers - these are just a few of the technologies that fashion brands and retailers are introducing with might and main. And tomorrow it may turn out that the most successful collection was not created by a person at all, that a computer understands fashion trends better than beauty bloggers, and that clothes are not sewn, but “printed”.
