AI virtual try-on for fashion brands
Virtual try-on (VTO, AI try-on) is the workflow where a garment image and a model image are combined by AI so the model appears to wear the garment — without a physical fitting. Apiway runs a hybrid pipeline: real model photography combined with AI-generated garments, so skin texture and body proportions stay natural instead of taking on the pure-AI plastic look.
Definition
Virtual try-on
Placing a garment onto a model image without a physical fitting, using AI; the output preserves the model's pose, body, and lighting while swapping in the new garment.
AI fashion model
AI-generated person used to wear apparel in marketing imagery — fully synthesized in pure-AI tools, or a real photographed creator with licensed likeness on Apiway.
