The denim giant also employs AI in their "Future Led Facility" to reduce water usage in production by up to 96% through automated finishing techniques that achieve the perfect wash with minimal environmental impact.

From personalized shopping experiences to sustainable production methods, from AI fashion models to predictive analytics, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing every aspect of the fashion industry.
