Founder Series: Why Use AI to Forecast Trends with Yigit Alp Elmas & T-Fashion

Experimenting with Artificial Intelligence from an Early Age
At just 16 years old Yigit Alp Emas was already experimenting and harnessing the power of AI technology, winning technical competitions pitched against competitors twice his age. But there was something missing: a purpose. He saw opportunities to make real changes to the world and decided to find solutions to problems. At the heart of his motivation lies a personal connection—the sight of his mother's struggles within the fashion industry and the sting of a failed business.

AI: The Future of Trend Forecasting
Fast forward, Yigit is applying his AI skills to fashion trend forecasting and generative design. He's showing brands how they can use T-Fashion technology to predict upcoming trends and base their product releases using objective insights and data. By doing so brands can reduce waste, gain time, and overall improve how they are delivering the right product at the right time to their customers.  In this episode Yigit takes us through how he's create the AI magic and what it will do for the future of fashion.
