Abstract

The fashion design sector is being revolutionized by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which have proven to be wonderful triggers for creativity, accelerating design times, and facilitating real-simulation visualizations of final products. This research would examine the most significant challenges and obstacles that the introduction of AI applications and programs in the fashion industry may pose and evaluate their likely consequences on designers' competencies and professional positions in the future. Two fundamental questions would guide the research: realizing the nature of these challenges and investigating the impact of AI technologies on the creative and professional functions of fashion designers. The results reveal that AI presents a promising potential for the design of designer competence and its growth, along with an increase in creative potential. It does this while improving the process of designing without diminishing the status of the human designer or undermining their creative identity. Moreover, the results indicate that such technologies are designed to be a requirement for designers shortly, developing a synergistic partnership between human creativity and sophisticated technical expertise. The study recommends creating specialized fashion designer education and training programs, fostering an environment that promotes ongoing learning, challenging institutions and companies to adopt AI applications to keep pace with advancements, and undertaking further studies on how the technologies will influence the labor market of the fashion sector.
