Fashion’s digital evolution is accelerating with AI at the helm. The fashion world is rapidly evolving as artificial intelligence becomes an integral part of how brands connect with customers. Industry leaders H&M and Mango are at the forefront, unveiling innovative digital-first initiatives that are transforming the way people shop for and experience fashion.

On July 2, H&M launched a groundbreaking campaign featuring “digital twins” AI-generated avatars of real models set against vibrant, stylized backgrounds inspired by major fashion capitals. This creative leap offers shoppers an immersive, globally-inspired view of H&M’s latest collections, with plans for the digital twins to appear throughout the year, especially during key seasons like back-to-school.
