So for today's episode, we explore sustainable fashion and AI by sitting down for an insightful convo with OpenWardrobe AI's founder, Julia Dietmar. OpenWardrobe is an AI-powered digital wardrobe and outfit planning tool that helps users organize their belongings, put together looks, and choose eco-friendly items. By uploading or taking pictures of clothing, it digitizes closets, classifies them, provides styling tips and outfit recommendations, and even schedules outfits according to the weather and calendar. By uploading pictures of their clothing, users can build a virtual closet that the software can organize by color, neckline, pattern, style, and occasion. It integrates pieces from their digital wardrobe and makes outfit recommendations based on future events and personal style preferences. By assisting users to become conscious consumers in utilizing their existing clothing collection and making informed purchasing decisions, the app advocates for mindfulness and minimalism. So, for all you fashionistas out there, stay tuned to learn more!
