Phygital Realities: When Fashion Enters the Virtual World From design to sampling to manufacturing, AI is becoming fashion's new right hand. A fabric can now exist as a digital twin before it's ever woven. A garment can be tried on virtually before it's ever made. An entire collection can be accelerated by AI-generated design. Technology isn't just changing how fashion is produced — it's redefining how brands and consumers connect: you can "wear" that piece before you ever set foot in the shop. When fashion meets AI, the entire industry undergoes a structural shift. How is digital technology becoming a new medium for fashion content? Where is virtual fashion headed? And how can start-ups find their way into this wave?
