180,000 Historic Fabric Patterns Donated For AI Training Digitization

So how big of a deal is this?

This AI will be able to make any fashion you want with any useful robot!

Our goal.

Oh all bespoke and tailored to you.

This is the future.

Not $2 shirts from 7000 miles away.

@BrianRoemmele Brian, isn't your garage getting a little full by now?

@BrianRoemmele First you want "high protein" training data, and now you're settling for "high fiber"?

@BrianRoemmele 180.000 wow. all that creativity over decades X

@BrianRoemmele In my non-copious spare time, I've been putting together something that will allow people to capture and privately store their body volumetrics with one use case being very well fitting custom clothing.

@BrianRoemmele vivé la double-knit gabardine !

@BrianRoemmele 🥳

@BrianRoemmele Cool!

@BrianRoemmele As a dressmaker and designer I would LOVE to have a look when you are done what ever you gonna do with them.

@BrianRoemmele @Paulfra07911928 You now have highly coveted treasure.

@BrianRoemmele That fabric is making me drool…… best thing ever, HUGE DEAL!

@BrianRoemmele Mr haberdashery

@BrianRoemmele Now that is a dream project!

@BrianRoemmele Wow! This is incredibly cool. The Garment District is a gem in LA.

@BrianRoemmele That’s awesome!

@BrianRoemmele I’m so grateful and “wish I was there” conflicted. You’re a social, philosophical and spiritual historian. 💫🙏💫

@BrianRoemmele 180k patterns from 1910 onwards is genuinely rare training data. Most fashion AI is trained on recent e-commerce imagery, so the pre-synthetic-dye era stuff alone could produce something with a completely different aesthetic vocabulary.

@BrianRoemmele Yes! AI will custom design and make patterns for our clothes!

@BrianRoemmele I want this so bad
