We dive into visual AI, image recognition, and why even a black and a white version of the same dress can require totally different size curves.
Michaela breaks down how AI helps fashion brands go from spreadsheets to strategic planning — and why the answer to better retail might just be better data. We also talk about AI's role in achieving the dream of a 4-day workweek, the balance between automation and creativity, and why fashion is actually one of the most complex industries to optimize with tech.
