All images were generated by Alexis Mabille using AIQuestion: How long did it take you to realize that no part of these images is real? But today, Alexis Mabille went where no fashion week designer has gone before: both his collection and show video were entirely generated by artificial intelligence. Was it preposterous for a couturier to attempt this during the haute couture week? Conversely, haute couture is often compared to a laboratory, and Mabille worked with several platforms over some five months to ensure a coral caftan behaved like crepe or that a model’s wavy hair swished just so. Perhaps because AI feels anathema to the handwork of haute couture (a term which refers to the highest form of sewing), it was not spelled out explicitly in the show notes.
