Artificial intelligence (AI) is quietly becoming a designer in the fashion world. From predicting trends to creating sketches, AI tools are changing how clothes are imagined, made and sold.&nbsp;According to a report by McKinsey &amp; Company, AI is expected to add up to $150 billion to the global fashion and luxury industry over the next few years. By analysing data from social media, online shopping, and fashion archives, AI can identify upcoming styles and suggest what people might want to wear next.<h2>How AI Predicts Fashion Trends</h2>AI algorithms can scan millions of images and posts from platforms like Instagram, TikTok and e-commerce websites. They then identify patterns such as colours, cuts or fabrics gaining popularity. A study in Fashion and Textiles Journal explained that machine learning can forecast how long a micro-trend will last and when it might peak.&nbsp;For designers, this means faster insights. Instead of waiting for seasonal reports, AI provides real-time updates. This shortens the cycle between inspiration and production.<h2>Designing with Algorithms</h2>AI is not only about prediction; it also helps create. Tools like Repsketch allow fashion teams to generate realistic sketches of garments quickly, while platforms like Artiphoria enable even non-designers to create prints and artwork.&nbsp;Generative AI can suggest hundreds of variations of a single design. This helps designers test ideas rapidly and explore creative directions they might not have considered. As the Business of Fashion reported, many luxury labels are experimenting with AI to develop mood boards and fabric patterns.<h2>Personalisation and Sustainability</h2>AI is also personalising shopping. Apps such as 3DLOOK and EasySize use algorithms to recommend sizes and styles based on body measurements. This reduces returns, which are a major cost for retailers.&nbsp;On the sustainability side, AI helps brands forecast demand better. By predicting how many pieces will sell, companies can avoid overproduction, reducing waste and unsold stock. A report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation noted that digital tools like AI could play a central role in moving fashion towards a circular economy.<h2>The Future of AI in Fashion</h2>Experts say AI should be seen as a partner rather than a replacement for human designers. Creativity, cultural meaning and emotional connection remain deeply human. But with AI handling data analysis and repetitive tasks, designers can focus more on storytelling and innovation.&nbsp;The fashion industry is under pressure to become faster, more sustainable, and more personalised. With AI, it is now possible to design collections that are not only on-trend but also more efficient and environmentally friendly.

AI in Fashion designing: Will AI decide what you wear next?

Want to get more popular among your colleagues? A new study has revealed that being creative could really help you win the trust and confidence of your co-workers, eventually making you more popular among them.

Researchers at the University of Melbourne recently conducted three studies to identify this link between being creative and&nbsp;popular in the workplace.

They first conducted an experimental study on 303 full-time employees and then conducted another survey on 294 full-time employees, followed by a third survey on 189 full-time MBA students over one year.

It turned out that those who are viewed as more creative by their coworkers tend to get more popularity and acceptance.

<h2>How creativity leads to popularity</h2>

While it's typical for individuals to initially connect with those of a similar demographic, such as gender or age, these factors become less significant as relationships mature. Interestingly, in contemporary workplaces, embracing demographic diversity enhances relationships, particularly when creativity is a key focus.

The impact of being perceived as creative is most pronounced in fostering relationship closeness over time, especially when a colleague identifies as the opposite gender and hails from a different nationality.

Establishing connections with individuals from diverse backgrounds often demands more time and effort compared to those from the same background. This can pose challenges for people from minority groups in building relationships at work.

However, when individuals from minority groups are recognised for their creativity, colleagues are more motivated to cultivate relationships with them. This gradual process contributes to increased popularity for individuals from minority groups.

Diverse colleagues bring distinct perspective&nbsp;and information, fostering creativity and personal growth. As more colleagues seek interactions to learn from these unique viewpoints, individuals from minority groups gain popularity within the organisational network.

<h2>Lessons for managers</h2>

The study offers this straightforward but strong lesson to managers: Healthy personal relationships at the workplace can be enhanced by promoting creativity-driven problem-solving discussions.

Hosting meetings for sharing ideas or even structured events like speed networking can help employees connect in a more authentic way.

People after all tend to prefer a workplace over others where their co-workers help them refine their ideas, improve their skills and where their creativity is rewarded.

Want to get more popular among colleagues? Being creative is the key

Renowned painter Pablo Picasso once called the smell of opium smoke "the most intelligent smell in the world". Rap artist Snoop Dogg is well known for his love for weed or marijuana and referring to his favourite vice has even reportedly said, "the more medicated, the more dedicated". Harry Styles' latest album 'Fine Line' was made under the influence of mushrooms that supposedly helped him be "fun and creative." Artists and their love for various drugs and alcohol is legendary. These legends have long been blamed for promoting psychedelics and intoxicants among the "easily influenced" younger generations. However, time and time again, artists have claimed that drugs and alcohol allegedly helped their creative juices flow. A new study has revealed the truth behind this and says the claim might just be a myth.

Researchers from England's Essex University and Berlin’s Humboldt University have reached this conclusion after examining hundreds of papers on intoxicants and their effects.&nbsp;

The researchers concluded that the alleged help these drugs provide to aid the creative processes is likely to be a myth and that to inspire creativity, travel, exposure to culture, meditation and good old hard work or training are more effective.&nbsp;

"Given the numerous side-effects associated with drug use, it is scientifically unsound to recommend their consumption in pursuit of enhanced creative output," added Haase.

Dr Paul Hanel, of the University of Essex's department of psychology, said that drugs do not do anything for creativity. "People don’t benefit from it – it just has no effect at all."

However, Hanel acknowledged that, in some specific contexts, they might help enhance creativity.

Do drugs, alcohol make us more creative? Study answers the age-old question

The concept of online teaching-learning for school children - has not found favour with eminent scientist K Kasturirangan, who says direct physical and mental connection is important to bring out aspects such as playfulness and creativity in them.

The National Education Policy, 2019, draft committee chairperson stressed the need for face-to-face contacts, interactions, exchange of ideas and thoughts as he backed the traditional mode, amid a debate on online classes for children due to COVID-19-induced closure of schools.

"Fundamentally, the physical and mental connection with children directly is extremely important. Playfulness, creativity and many other aspects can never be transferred through online learning", Kasturirangan, who was Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation between 1994 and 2003, told PTI.

He said 86 per cent of the brain grows by the age of eight, adding that issues associated with the early phase of children need to be assessed and evaluated carefully and any kind of new approach needs a scientific basis.

"Development of a brain is a continuous process within these eight years, and if you dont stimulate the brain properly by continuous interactions, then obviously you are missing a chance of really getting the best out of youngsters in terms of brain boat and performance, the recipient of Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan said.

"There are issues of these which need to be analysed very carefully. Just the kind of solutions that we talk of for higher education like online and so on may not be the way to deal when it comes to dealing with the early phase of children, the former Rajya Sabha member said.

The issue of online education for school children needs to be looked into very carefully and one should not jump into any kind of approach without any scientific basis.

"There is much to be evaluated, and it has to be assessed", underlined Kasturirangan, who had also served as a Member of the now-defunct Planning Commission of India.

Another acclaimed scientist, Prof. C N R Rao, who was awarded 'Bharat Ratna' in 2014, also spoke out recently against introducing online classes for children, underscoring the importance of human interface for good communication and inspiring young minds.

The Honorary President of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, and the Linus Pauling Research Professor said online classes for young children such as KG, first and second grade should be terminated.

"I am not an enthusiast about on-line teaching. We need human interface with students for good communication. That is how young minds can be inspired, Prof. Rao, who was Chairman of the Science Advisory Council to the Prime Minister from 1985-1989, and from 2004-2014, told PTI

Creativity can't be transferred through online classes: Kasturirangan

In the ruthless world of the mating game, plain-looking men instinctively know that being funny, smart or poetic helps to compensate for a less-than-stellar exterior.&nbsp;

That gut feeling has now gained scientific validation from an unusual study published Wednesday.

Average-looking men become more alluring when women sense the man has an imaginative spark, it found. But for women, sadly, there may not be the same boost.&nbsp;

Indeed, one experiment suggests that less attractive women even worsen their mating chances if they show mental zing.

&quot;Creative women with less attractive faces seem to be perhaps penalised in some way,&quot; said Christopher Watkins, a psychologist at Abertay University in Scotland, who carried out the research.

Watkins first recruited a batch of volunteers who looked at pictures of men and women, rating each on the basis of their physical looks alone.

Armed with this benchmark of beauty, he then submitted the same pictures to another group of volunteers -- but this time he provided clues about the subjects&#39; creativity.&nbsp;

Attached to each picture were mini exercises in the imagination.

&nbsp;

Look at me, I&#39;m clever

In one test, there was a 100-word text based on &quot;The Lovers,&quot; a surrealist painting by Rene Magritte in which two lovers kiss, their heads strangely covered in white cloths.&nbsp;

Half of these texts, attributed to the persons pictured, were dull or factual (&quot;Are they being held hostage?&quot;), and the other half were inspired or conceptual (&quot;It is perhaps an indicator that looks fade and in the end it does not matter as you will always be left with the personality of someone&quot;).

In a second test, head shots were linked with an everyday object -- a tyre -- and a text describing an alternative use for it.

Half of these descriptions were inventive, others less so.

The results showed that men with less attractive faces get a big boost in the popularity contest if they show a creative touch, Watkins found.

&quot;Creative guys with less attractive faces were almost identical in attractiveness to really good looking guys who were not as creative,&quot; he told AFP in a phone interview.

The top-ranked men were those considered to be both physically attractive and creative.

For women, though, the news is not so good. Looks remain paramount.

In one experiment, creativeness did nothing to boost the allure of attractive women -- and it even reduced the appeal of less attractive women.&nbsp;

However, another experiment on similiar lines had conflicting findings, Watkins found: creativity showed an equally boosting effect for average-looking women and male counterparts.

&nbsp;

He&#39;s a geek? Swipe left

Why would women rate creativity among men so highly?

Watkins pointed to evolutionary biology -- the hidden criteria that drive us to seek the best mate for ensuring healthy offspring and their survival.

&quot;Women on average are a more selective sex when it comes to choosing romantic partners,&quot; he said. &nbsp;

Imagination and inspiration may be &quot;a proxy for intelligence,&quot; he suggested.

&quot;Creativity is thought to be a signal that an individual can invest time and effort into a particular task or can see things in novel ways that may be useful for survival.&quot;

That means nerds and poets are at a big disadvantage in online dating, where decisions to swipe left or right -- to shun or show interest -- are often based on just a glance.

&quot;Certain platforms that we have now for dating might not be favourable for assessing people on more complex attributes,&quot; Watkins said.

The allure of creativity may not be limited to potential romantic partners, but extend to potential friends too, the study found.
