Late last spring, The Interline released The AI Report 2024. That report came nearly two years into the generative AI boom, but even then the role that AI was being prepared to play in fashion was still taking shape.
Almost a year on – and approaching 17,000 downloads later – how much has changed? Behind the ubiquitous AI labels on solutions of every stripe, which applications and ideas are having the most tangible impact? How much clearer is the future for artificial intelligence in fashion’s key disciplines – forecasting, design, supply chain and sourcing, marketing and content creation?
While early adopters have and continue to fine-tune their AI strategies, a broader wave of professionals, once cautious or unconvinced, are now integrating AI into their workflows, whether through intelligent automation, enhanced customer personalisation, or AI-assisted trend forecasting.
What could the next waves of technology development in different modalities, different use cases, and across the top of it all – in orchestrating workflows, surfacing insights, and taking actions across a sweeping, global process landscape and extended product journey – bring?
In Q2 of 2025, The Interline will be releasing The AI Report 2025 – asking all these questions and more. This year’s report will take a clear-eyed look at what’s working, what’s falling short, and what’s next for AI in fashion.
Supported by MMGNET – the global platform connecting fashion innovation with commerce, helping businesses navigate trends, sourcing, and retail landscapes – The AI Report 2025 will be part of our signature series of in-depth, free-to-download reports, offering the latest insights at the intersection of fashion, beauty, and technology.
Like last year’s edition, this report will feature:
- Editorials from our contributors and top industry voices on the realities of AI over the past year.
- Profiles of key technology vendors, from AI-first innovators to established players integrating AI in unique ways.
- Data-driven analysis of AI’s trajectory, offering insights into both its near- and long-term impact.
If you’re a technology company, brand, retailer, or upstream supplier and want to contribute your perspective, we’d love to hear from you.
