Using AI in Fashion Design with iServalan, the concept catwalk show

 hey guys I've got my sewing head on today so I thought I'd just run it by you how I'm what I'm doing so I'm going to Brighton at the end of the week it's my daughter's birthday and we're going um I think we're going out somewhere and I'm going to take her for breakfast at a fancy hotel which I thought would be lovely now I wanted to wear something a bit you know except the sort of things that people look at so my AI version of ice Overland has been designing recycled clothes and she did some jeans and I really really like them now what I use the AI for when I do my designs is to create the concept and then I copy what the ai's created do you see what I mean so I put in the idea so I wanted to recycle jeans I wanted to work with denim for a bit and some gold and I wasn't sure quite you know how it would look so the so when you put that into the AI the AI you know visualizes it for you it's a really useful way to design clothes and I love these jeans that I created but they didn't exist yet well I wanted them to exist and I wanted to wear them I wanted to wear them with great pride because they were the sort of thing that saved the planet and also would get me noticed which I you know I crave so what I've done is I've bought a pair of jeans from the charity shop I wanted flares but flares worked particularly well when you're doing the sort of layering Patchwork from recycled brocades it works beautifully with a flared bottom because they hang so perfectly absolutely swishy perfect around the ankles you know um also very very comfortable I didn't want to be you know too restricted because when one is traveling one wants that ease of you know sitting in lots of positions running for a bus although oh well I'll probably actually be on a bus a boat and a train so you know when you're doing that sort of those sort of Maneuvers it is and it is like Army Maneuvers let me tell you getting out of this place I live in a peninsula it's almost cut off like Russia cut off from the world anyway so I bought the Calvin Klein jeans they were actually brand new but you know what I bought them from the men's section because I couldn't find I sort of had my eye on you know maybe 501s or I'm not totally familiar with which Levi was the flared lit version but you know what I mean I wanted something that you know really it's not smart casual is it it's sort of Street casual but expensive looking but I couldn't find anything so I found these Calvin Kleins in the men's section and they're very long flared and I think there are 32 um or a 30 maybe a 30. so I've got to take them in a little but not too much actually not too much at all just a little on the hips but they're quite a thin denim which is perfect for me and the flare is just Exquisite I put them on and they're actually the most Exquisite shape I've come across in a gene ever in my entire life as far as I can remember and so I've got those at the ready today now I was making bras and I was make I was using sort of brocades and lovely gold curtaining and fabrics with metallic tints and I've piled them all up today so I'm going to cut them into my patches and what I'm going to do is I'm not going to do the whole trouser legs I'm going to do the bottoms and then gradually work up and Fade Out with these recycled Patchwork Fabrics do you see um so that's what I'm doing today and it's remarkable how gorgeous a patchwork recycled garment can look and of course it's totally in keeping with you know the ethos that my design company has I serve learn because I want to use the old to make new and I do it with my music I do it with story books I do it with the art and I and I know I do it with clothes and it's a lovely lovely feeling but also it looks bloody amazing totally amazing so I'll see about possibly the addition of some sequining or you know but I haven't got very long I've only got a couple of days so I better get on with it um what day is it today it's Tuesday so I've got today tonight and tomorrow so I'll let you know I'll pop some pictures up when they're done of myself wearing them um and yeah just really excited and the thing is when you make something recycled you generally speaking you have to take a bit of time over it because you've got to get all the right bits and I want the bits to look perfect they need to complement each other and they need to look classy because I'm a classy broad so you know they they need to look that because it's all in the Fabrics you see and when I was working with Jersey the they're very difficult to make look Posh and I like Posh I want to look expensive um and a lot of recycled stuff does run the risk of looking pretty shabby unfortunately and I don't I really don't like that I want to look quite pristine so this is my challenge always my challenge is how to look like you're wearing something that cost a lot of money because that's important to me and it's not because I want to pretend I've got a lot of money it's because I like the styling I like Exquisite styling and good Cuts do you see and nylon plasticky fabrics and Jersey stretch Fabrics generally speaking are quite awkward to work with and can bring the quality of your garment down so you have to be very very careful having said that you know little patches of of Jersey you you will be able to get away with that um so that's what I'm doing today and I'll keep you updated and I'll pop some photos on my I might do a tick tock or something I don't know see how I feel probably not actually I'm not in the mood I'm off a coffee later with mum and my brother that'll be nice a little break from um you know all the work that I've been doing I've been doing such a lot um so a bit later on today there'll be a couple of piano lessons a bit of jazz my midnight Jazz show don't forget that guys that's it late at night but of course you know it doesn't matter what time they are anymore does it because we don't we don't have linear broadcasting anymore we have you know on demand so you can get thousands of my broadcasts on demand um so I'm sort of trying to update things and create an easier way for people to find all the broadcasts that we've done keeping in mind that I changed server about two months ago and that's been um has created a lot of work and meant I've had to sort of rearrange things but I'm very pleased with acast that's who those are the people that are um hosting my my or this Channel and I'm very pleased with them they seem very very nice actually I mean you can't tell Kenya online who's nice and who's horrible but they're you know their solution for um creating a seamless environment for people like me who just talk a lot and present a lot and have a lot of skills to pass on um it's all very it's it's um seamless dramaless no problems you know so a little bit of a plug for my for my people over at acast um so I think that's it for this morning guys I'm gonna have my next coffee and my Greek yogurt because obviously I'm permanently on a high protein diet which I think I have done even done a broadcast about it um quite life-changing actually but I'll do it I'll do an update on that actually because I've been on this um I've had to turn the electric blanket off so it's like a sauna in the four poster bed um yes I've I think I've been on my high protein regime it's a very strict regime that I do for about six months and it's really paid off really paid off although I no longer wait train and I haven't even been able to do any ballet because it just hurts so much in my arthritic neck and shoulders but you know I've got it under wraps and life is relatively pain-free I'm not going to say her holy pain-free because you can't really expect to be pain-free after a certain age unfortunately all we can do is try to do things that don't make it worse like weight training which was a really bad idea for me okay I'm off have a lovely day and come back soon for some a bit of a jazz finale later on and lots of love stories I didn't tell you love stories abound today as I upload them to my um to this ice to the eye surveillance podcast I'm going to feature love stories I've decided well also you know some other stories but love ever everybody wants love don't they they want love in their lives I mean I don't want love with a man or a woman but I I'm quite happy to read about it but I have love with my cat sort of when when he you know when he's not annoying me I'm I'm probably far too jaded now for love Darlings but I love reading about it and I I cry still I always cry at a love story I do um What a Sad one you know and that's because I'm not a completely emotionless old lady I have I do have a little bit of heart remaining anyway that's the update for this morning I'll see you later hear you later and do join the wonderful wonderful wonderful world of I surveillance music storytelling and General opinion
