We’re excited to kick off our new research project, “Large Language Models as Analytical AI Assistants in the Fashion Design Process,” supported by the Pro FIT program in collaboration with IBB and co-funded by the European Union. This project is all about using AI to help designers make better decisions early in the process, before products even hit production.

THE PROJECT:

The Project: AI That Helps Fashion Designers Get Fit Right

Fashion design is both an art and a science, yet sizing and fit have been a guessing game for a long time. Our research focuses on developing AI-powered tools that assist fashion designers by turning massive amounts of data into clear, useful insights.

With Large Language Models (LLMs) we are building an AI assistant that can:

  • Analyze historic product data and customer feedback to spot potential fit issues before production.
  • Give insights on market trends, materials, and pattern adjustments to fine-tune designs.
  • Offer easy-to-understand, data-driven recommendations so designers can stay creative while making informed decisions.

Backed by the EU: Driving Innovation Forward

This project is supported by the Pro FIT program, with funding from IBB and co-financing from the European Union. This allows us to push AI innovation in fashion and ensure our research turns into real-world solutions for brands and customers.

The Goal: Better Fit, Fewer Returns, Smarter Production

A major challenge in fashion is high return rates, often due to poor fit. With this project, SAIZ aims to:

  • Lower returns by giving designers predictive fit insights, so sizing is right from the start.
  • Improve sustainability by reducing overproduction and waste.
  • Empower designers with AI tools that make decision-making faster and more precise, without limiting creativity.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Our team is refining these AI models, testing them with industry partners, and ensuring they integrate seamlessly into existing workflows. The ultimate goal? A smarter, more sustainable fashion industry with better-fitting products, happier customers, and less waste.

Stay tuned for updates as we bring this technology to life!
