Understanding AI and the Fashion Industry: What’s the Buzz All About?
Artificial intelligence has been making waves across various industries, and fashion is no exception. But what exactly is AI, and how is it changing the fashion landscape? In simple terms, AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn like humans, through various techniques, like machine learning. This technology is beginning to be harnessed by fashion brands to enhance the shopping experience, streamline operations, and create innovative products.
Personalized Shopping: The New Norm
Remember the days when shopping meant spending hours in stores, rummaging through racks, and trying on endless outfits? Let’s not forget the Covid pandemic days when fashion stores forbade trying on the clothes! C’mon, MAN! While traditional shopping still has its charm, the digital age has ushered in a new era of convenience and personalization. Thanks to AI, shopping for clothes has never been more tailored to individual preferences. Let’s explore some key areas where AI is making a significant impact.

What started out as limited, annoying customer service chatbots, has morphed into highly advanced and intuitive solutions that really add value to the customers.
For T-shirt brands like Big Baby Gorilla Bear, this technology is still a bit cost-prohibitive, but no doubt the future. Whether you’re into bold graphic tees, minimalist designs, or vintage-inspired prints, AI-powered recommendations are the wave of the future to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Virtual Try-Ons: See It Before You Buy It
One of the biggest challenges of online shopping is not being able to try on clothes before purchasing them. This is a problem for store owners and customers alike. This is one reason quality shops offer style guides, and resources for helping customers find their ideal t-shirt dimensions. Our size guides are in the product descriptions of each product!

Enter virtual try-ons, a revolutionary feature powered by AI and augmented reality (AR). This technology allows customers to see how a piece of clothing will look on them without ever stepping into a fitting room. By simply uploading a photo or using a live camera, you can try on different T-shirts and see how they fit your body shape and style.
Of course, the jury is still out on the current state of this technology. Few stores can offer it due to the upfront costs of the technology. Of the stores that do, many of the items seem aimed at a female audience. Additionally, there are privacy concerns with facial recognition technologies, and data storage concerns. Nonetheless, this is likely a trend of the future that will continue to be refined and perfected, benefiting all.
AI-Driven Inventory Management: Never Out of Stock
Ever found the perfect T-shirt only to discover it’s out of stock in your size? Frustrating, right? AI is helping brands solve this problem with smarter inventory management. By predicting demand and managing stock levels in real-time, AI ensures that popular items are always available, and overstock is minimized. This means happier customers, environmentally friendlier operations, and more a more efficient supply chain to deliver you the products you love quicker.
