All we know is a disclaimer on each photo that AI tech was used. These could be real photos on blank backgrounds with the background generated and composited later. They could be photos of the garments on mannequins with the whole person being generated. They could be face replacements so that future models can’t get famous and demand more money.
No matter what, these still took a lot of editing to get to print. They still needed at least one photo of the garments.

Yeah, I know how this process works, but there’s no denying a lot of people are being taken out of their jobs with this one simple trick. The job that used to take three professionals can now be done by one person at a fraction of the cost with a phone camera. You don’t even need a professional photo of the garments or a model to exist to make it work if you’re good at editing and trivial prompting. Here’s a website that offers to cut costs for this entire process by 90%.
