Oxford University holds first AI fashion catwalk

  • Spearheaded by second-year student Reuben Meller, an AI-themed fashion catwalk was held at Lady Margaret Hall as part of the presidents summit, an exclusive black-tie event series for Oxford University society and common room presidents founded by Meller.
  • The fashion industry is undergoing rapid transformation due to AI, with luxury conglomerates like LVMH developing AI-driven platforms to improve production efficiency, and WGSN introducing AI-powered fashion buying tools in 2024 to provide predictive insights.
  • Five innovative designers from the university were selected to participate, crafting a wardrobe for the physical runway using AI, resulting in an event that included AI-generated cocktails, AI music, and Oxford’s first student-led AI art exhibition, attracting nearly 200 attendees with first-release tickets selling out in 15 minutes.
  • Zaira Christa, a third-year music undergraduate whose work has appeared in Vogue, and other designers, including Amber Ellis-Keeler, Ouissal Moumou, and Zain Mohammad, used their AI-driven creations as a form of social commentary, questioning the future of fashion in the AI revolution.
  • While some designers like Zaira Christa expressed alarm at AI's integration into the creative network, others like Zain Mohammad, who is dyspraxic, see AI as leveling the playing field by providing accessible tools to visualize designs, highlighting AI's potential as a game-changer for accessibility if handled ethically, although some express concern about undermining the humanity of artistic creation.
