The Bottom Drawer Forums

It’s really unfortunate that many small-scale swimsuit makers are closing down lately, especially with how they struggle to compete against fast fashion giants like Shein and Fashion Nova. These companies dominate due to their ability to produce massive quantities of inexpensive items quickly, which can be hard to keep up with as a smaller brand.

But with AI emerging as a game-changer, there’s definitely hope for these smaller brands. Imagine if AI tools could be used to design swimsuits based on real-time customer preferences. A sophisticated AI system could analyze customer data, predict trends, and generate unique designs without the need for a large team of designers. This would not only save time but also cut down on costs, helping small-scale swimsuit makers be more competitive and efficient in the market. By integrating AI into the design process, they could focus on innovation and creativity without the burden of expensive labor or long production cycles. It could open up new doors and opportunities for them to thrive, even in this fast-fashion-dominated landscape.

Haha I asked ChatGPT to rewrite my sentences. Anyway do you think small-scale swimsuit makers can take advantage of AI and become successful businesses?

That's an interesting insight kiyoothong! Fast fashion brands like Shein are the absolute worst and are extremely unethical. I avoid buying anything from them. I'd rather invest in quality pieces that don't involve slave labor. I think that's a great idea to use AI tech to give the edge to small scale swimsuit designers, or underwear too. I would think AI could also help in modelling swim wear. Instead of hiring a model or agency, virtual models could be generated to model swim suit designs.
