Clothing brand Levis will be trialling the use of AI-generated models later this year, in a bid to boost diversity and “elevate the customer experience”.
In partnership with start-up firm LaLaLand.ai, the denim giant will be creating “hyper-realistic models of every body type, age, size, and skin tone.”
LaLaLand.ai, which has been building AI-generated models since 2019, currently works with a raft of fashion retailers including Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.

As part of the scheme, Levis hopes to create a more “inclusive, personal and sustainable shopping experience” for its consumers.
In a statement, the company said: “Artificial intelligence can potentially assist us by supplementing models, unlocking a future where we can enable more customers to see our products on more models that look like themselves, creating a more personal and inclusive shopping experience.”
“We see fashion and technology as both an art and a science, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with LaLaLand, a company with such high-quality technology that can help us continue on our journey for a more diverse and inclusive customer experience,” Levis Strauss & Co global head of digital and emerging strategy, Dr Amy Gershkoff Bolles said.
