  1. Foundations of Generative Visual AI

    6 weeks
    Goals
    • Understand core principles of diffusion models and GANs
    • Master advanced prompting techniques for style control
    • Learn basic Python for running and modifying inference scripts
    Resources
    • Hugging Face Diffusion Models Course
    • The Prompt Book by Midjourney
    • Python for Designers tutorials
    Milestone

    Generate a coherent, styled clothing collection using a pre-trained model with specific prompt engineering.

  2. Applied Fashion Design & Data

    8 weeks
    Goals
    • Study fashion design fundamentals and trend analysis
    • Learn to curate and preprocess image datasets for training
    • Implement basic fine-tuning (LoRA) for a specific style or pattern
    Resources
    • 'Fashion Design Course' by Central Saint Martins online
    • Fast.ai Practical Deep Learning for Coders
    • Google Colab notebooks for Stable Diffusion fine-tuning
    Milestone

    Create and deploy a custom LoRA model that generates designs in a distinct, recognizable style (e.g., Art Deco, Cyberpunk).

  3. Professional Workflow & Integration

    10 weeks
    Goals
    • Integrate AI outputs with 3D design tools (Blender/CLO 3D)
    • Build a RAG pipeline using brand guidelines to steer generation
    • Develop a portfolio-ready capstone project simulating a client brief
    Resources
    • Blender Guru tutorials
    • LangChain documentation for RAG
    • Case studies from AI-fashion startups like Designovel or Resleeve
    Milestone

    Complete an end-to-end project from AI concept generation to 3D mockup, supported by a style-guide RAG, and present it as a professional case study.

Practice Projects

Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.

Signature Style LoRA Development

Intermediate

Curate a dataset of 50+ images representing a specific fashion style (e.g., 'Afrofuturism Streetwear'), clean and caption them, and fine-tune a LoRA model on Stable Diffusion to generate new designs in that style.

AI-Generated Capsule Collection

Advanced

Create a cohesive 5-piece digital capsule collection for a fictional brand. Develop a brand guide, use a RAG pipeline to steer generation, produce concepts, and build a simple Gradio app for presentation.

Trend-to-Design Pipeline

Intermediate

Build a script that scrapes runway images from a season (e.g., SS24), clusters them by color/pattern/silhouette using computer vision, and uses those clusters as style seeds to generate new, trend-aligned designs.
