Work in Progress: Approach to Inclusive Society in Current Fashion Education: Main Challenges and AI-Driven Tools
This study investigates the challenges of inclusive fashion education and explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be integrated to promote inclusion, which goes beyond physical issues, also involving gender, ethnicity, and body types. The limitations of current curricula are identified, and examples of practices in institutions that integrate inclusion and artificial intelligence into fashion education are highlighted. Successful examples include courses focused on creating fashion for non-normative body types and using AI to personalize designs and change stereotypes. This study proposes that AI, when integrated into teaching, can be a transformative tool to empower future professionals to create more inclusive fashion.
