The Campaign

We develop an AI to identify fast rising fashion trend among Chinese youth by aggregating and learning from live data on Qzone: China's biggest youth social platform to design a collection for them from the emerging trend.

Creative Execution

Through facial recognition technology, Yong identified two billion photos of millennial users from the hundreds of billions of other photos with an age variance of not more than three years. Yong is able to distinguish users' clothing from a multitude of varied backgrounds with 95% accuracy. Yong then decodes these images into data, identifying the exact color, shape, and pattern of the emerging trend. With a matter of minutes, Yong then outputs his learning into a design. And a new collection of fashion concepts by Yong, emerges.

Inspired by Yong’s work, designer ZhangChi joins the team and reveals her creations at New York's fashion week. Over 2,000 articles from mainstream news to technology media and fashion magazines including Yahoo, China daily, Tech in Asia has covered it, create a total media value of 60 million. More the 45 top opinion leaders join in the discussion. Four live streaming platform streamed the New York fashion show with over 2.4 million viewership and more than1million likes.

Fast fashion works by using people to identify the fast rising trends. The faster you are to market, the greater the opportunity to ride the trend before it dies. We developed our AI with the same aim. The difference is that unlike humans, AI recognizes trends at the speed of live data. Tencent Qzone, the social network most popular among China's youth, receives more than 650 million photo uploads every day. We want to leverage live data from Qzone and the advance technology of AI to catch the emerging trend and create a faster fashion for youth.
