Fashion Industry Adopts AI-Driven Editorial Practices

Prof. Meha Jayaswal of Pearl Academy argues that fashion and fashion communication have undergone two major transformations since the 2006 Devil Wears Prada era, accelerated by e-commerce and post-pandemic sustainability trends. She notes that by 2025 production tools, social metrics and generative AI enable rapid creative prototyping, while print declines and editorial roles flatten. The shift demands new skills in data analytics, AI-assisted design and sustainable practices.
