PhotoVogue Festival 2023: The Talks

This conversation took place on November 19th 2023 as part of the PhotoVogue Festival 2023 which centered around the theme “What Makes us Human?: Image in the Age of A.I.”


Synopsis | “AI and Vogue Italia: Leading the Way in the Evolution of Fashion Representation”

This panel discussion emerged from a groundbreaking creative collaboration initiated by photographer Carlijn Jacobs, stylist Imruh Asha, Vogue’s Global Creative Director Juan Costa Paz, Vogue Italia s Head of Editorial Content Francesca Ragazzi, and the AI program DALL-E. Together, they embarked on a transformative journey to merge human creativity with artificial imagery, resulting in a stunning Vogue Italia cover story.

In this conversation, we will explore how AI is revolutionizing the fashion industry and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. Gain insight into Carlijn Jacobs creative process as a visually-oriented artist, stepping into the realm of AI-generated visuals. 

As Carlijn Jacobs aptly notes, "The choice is entirely ours. We can use AI to simply replace human creativity and be complacent, or we can use it as a tool to push the boundaries and augment human creativity. If we choose the latter, there are exciting times ahead for those working in creative fields." 

This conversation provides a profound glimpse into the dynamic interplay between human creativity and AI technology, showcasing the evolution of fashion representation in the digital age.
