 MARWIO Cruise   Collection 2023 

MARWIO AI Catwalk

Our first Ai Generated Catwalk using a video game as inspiration. Mainly just to see what was possible, and if it's any good and if we lose a teeny weeny part of our soul when you use computers for the creative bit, surely that's the work of the artist? Does everything become more bland? Or is it just another tool, surely photoshop put a few people out of a job when it was first released in 1990? Ah well, we quite like what the bot has produced, see for yourself:
