“Gigi Hadid will not just create a digital model but will train artificial intelligence to behave like Gigi, so if she can’t model, she will send her avatar to other companies and dress in digital clothes,” Tommy Hilfiger's CEO, Daniel Grieder says "This is the next revolution."
Its parent company, PVH is also diving deeper into digital clothing with their technology. From shopping in #AugmentedReality, online item personalization to buying digital versions of the clothing to dress online avatars.
Beyond thrilled to see such an effort of championing diversity and inclusion in fashion by non-other than the champion herself, Serena Williams! As seen here with 6 of her friends wearing the same dress in different sizes.

But due to vanity sizing practices, buying clothes online that fits is a huge frustration. And this challenge extends to customers of all sizes. Leading fashion retailers are starting to shoot their products with different sized models, but it is a huge undertaking
Younger brands like @MeUndies, Summersalt are capturing these customers because representation is embedded in their identity. Older brands need to make sure that their inclusive marketing is authentic, and not just hopping on the bandwagon because the status quo has shifted.
Brands are still flocking to inclusive marketing because simply, it is not just a trend. Consumers are expecting it to be a norm when they shop. (Especially the Gen Z.)

Women do want to see themselves being represented and we are glad to see yet another brand pushing the envelope and acknowledging the diversities that exist with models from different heights, sizes, shapes and culture.

But the market yearns for something else, size 14 women should be able to see themselves represented the same way as a size 2 women. Brands that understand and can adopt different practices to drive real changes will survive and will do well in the long road to #inclusivity.
