Got to see the incomparable Catherine Tate at Oh, Mary on my birthday yesterday and she signed my work birthday card!

Stage door was only 15 minutes of waiting! She’s very sweet

My bf and I are huge fans and you can see the years of all of her characters being put in Oh, Mary for a tour de force of campy delight. Really recommend everyone seeing it!

OK I get it, a lot of fashion designers don’t have a lot of resources starting out. It’s an expensive field. I’m a fashion marketer, stylist, and designer myself. I get it. I work with fashion designers in London, New York, and Paris who can’t even afford to keep the lights on at times. Or they’re working day jobs just to keep their passions running.

And so I get why using AI renderings to create your logos, designs, packs, branding, websites and so on is appealing.

I’m not completely against Ai. There’s huge environmental concerns that we should all recognise. But we also have to realise that the meat industry and the fashion industry itself pollutes the world more than AI. We all need to rectify that.

The biggest issue is when you post AI designs, renderings, and logos on here, it completely ruins your credibility as a designer. You might think, oh well there’s an audience for it or I’m doing fast fashion. But why would anyone want to invest in something that:

- isn’t worn by actual models,

- can’t be copyrighted easily,

- shows me you don’t take design seriously as a craft,

- shows me that the clothes might not fit models and don’t have technical drawings,

- shows me that if you can’t even bother to draw it or design it, you will probably cut corners with manufacturing and product quality.

- shows me that you are increasing the already heavy environmental burdens of fashion.

It’s amateurish and I don’t understand the mindset people have posting on a group of fashion designers an AI design and thinking it will get a positive reception?

If you have to use AI, use it sparingly, invest in humans, and don’t be so public about it.

It’s just going to devalue your brand and make me think you’re not an actual fashion designer.
