| Background In recent years artificial intelligence is bringing new change in the whole modern society. The advance of artificial intelligence has raised interest in the role of AI in the arts and design field, and its growing impact on the fashion industry remains positive. Emergent AI technologies in open-source design software tools are allowing non-professionals to have easy access to such skills, which were commonly considered complex and technical. The purpose of this paper is to examine the current state of AI based design tools, and discuss the optimized creative working relationship of AI and fashion designers that increase the efficiency of the fashion design thinking process.
Methods As methods of research, this paper first examines previous research and literature on artificial intellegence and design thinking processes, and investigates the fashion design thinking process. It then analyze 10 cases of exixting AI based design tools that can be utilized in the fashion design ideation stage, and conduct interviews of fashion design professionals to analyze the overall functional property and advantages. It then suggests a framework of AI-based fashion design thinking process and discusses the design possibilities of emergent AI technologies in the fashion design context.
Result As a result, the detailed functions of the cases were grouped into 8 categories, and 7 advantages were derived. Based on these results, the potentials of AI in the fashion design thinking process were discussed. First, AI design tools are likely to act as a design partner of a fashion designer, and the collaboration between AI and human will enhance the efficiency and quality of the result. Second, it appears that the importance of convergent thinking will increase, thus implementing that fashion designers’ creativity will be more focused on planning and selecting from existing ideas. Third, the outcomes of AI based design tools could promote inspiration, thus acting as a stimulant of the designer’s creativity.
Conclusion This research aims to suggest a methology that integrates AI technology and fashion design, and clarify the future role and necessary capabilities of fashion designers in the age of artificial intelligence. |
