Kate moss runway8/8/2023 So a 19-year-old Kate Moss could be followed down the catwalk by some of the most famous faces the world has ever known. ‘AI tools could help bring this all to life within a year.’ Using special holographic tech, they could even appear and walk alongside the real model. 'It is already possible to put a 3D model on a runway and make her walk. Nicole Reader, founder of Modern Mirror, a New York fashion technology agency, said: ‘I don’t think we’re far off from the digital and physical worlds colliding over fashion. Last year, one leading luxury brand hosted an experimental fashion show using avatars which could be watched through virtual reality headsets. ITV’s latest sitcom, Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, uses AI to create likenesses of celebrities, such as England football captain Harry Kane and rapper Stormzy for use in comedy sketches Little wonder, then, that serious money is now being poured into similar projects by the multi-billion-pound fashion industry.

The ability to revive yesteryear’s model and dress her in tomorrow’s couture marks the next leap forward in the unrelenting advance of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. If Moss ever makes her way down the runway again as a 19-year-old ingenue, it will be as a digital construction called an avatar.
