- sewing can’t be done by a machine
- a human has touched and worked on every garment you own
- most of the tech applied to fashion is materials, processes that aren’t the actual garment construction, which i think has stayed largely unchanged for a long time
- online shopping obvs has hugely shaped things
- AI in supply chains - hyper-personalisation, small batches but loads of them ala zara and shein
- the design side mayyyybe has been influenced by tech/is it being automated but only in the most unhelpful to designers/workers/people way?
- etsy sewing patterns made by AI that are completely unusable/pictures of impossible garments used to sell patterns
