Top 3 AI Use Cases for
Fashion Marketing Campaigns

From Virtual Try-On to AI Influencers

If you’re a clothing brand owner or a marketing specialist in fashion, this article will show you how to integrate AI into your workflow.

These aren’t theoretical ideas — they’re practical cases we’ve already tested with real fashion campaigns.

So, let’s get started.

The first and most obvious use case is generating fashion campaigns with AI.

Think about it: carousels, stories, and short videos that once required expensive photo shoots, models, and makeup artists can now be created in just a few hours. What used to cost $20K five years ago is now accessible to any brand. Today, SMM specialists are becoming AI fashion photographers.

The challenge, of course, has been that AI creates beautiful images — but often with random products. At the beginning of the AI era, that was true. But today, the problem is solved.

For example, we recreated a Dolce & Gabbana dress. First, we made an AI avatar in MidJourney with the exact garment, then produced close-ups to highlight the jewelry details. After that, we animated everything in Kling and edited the video in CapCut.

The key breakthrough here is MidJourney’s Omni References feature. It allows you to integrate your product almost unchanged. In our experience, setting Omni Strength between 300–400 gives the best results. Higher than that, and the output becomes unpredictable.

The result? Not perfect — but more than good enough for social media campaigns.

The second use case is far more powerful: Virtual Try-On directly inside a brand’s Instagram DMs.

Here’s how it works:

1. A customer watches a Reel with your clothing line.
2. At the end of the video, they see the option for a virtual try-on.
3. They comment “tryon.”
4. Within seconds, Apiway’s AI agent sends them a DM with a link.

From there, the customer uploads a photo, and AI instantly dresses them in your outfit. We’ve tested this with our Dolce & Gabbana Reel, and the results are incredible — real people wearing the digital version of the dress, ready to share with friends or repost in Stories.

This is more than just a gimmick. It’s a virtual fitting room inside Instagram DMs — one that replaces static Shopify product pages with interactive sales funnels. Today it’s still a wow effect, but in a few years it will be a standard part of any brand’s sales process.

The third use case might be the most disruptive: creating your own AI influencers.
Traditionally, brands relied on their main account and hired human influencers. But now, brands can create entire fleets of AI influencers who promote products endlessly, without contracts or fees.
How do you start?

• Mood boards: Use Pinterest to collect the style you want.
• Prompts: Instead of typing them manually, upload an image to ChatGPT and ask it to generate a MidJourney prompt for you. Then refine it.
• Consistency: Use Omni References to lock in your AI influencer’s face across different images.
• Voice: Generate realistic voiceovers with Eleven Labs (Version 3 is especially strong for emotions).
• Video: Use HeyGen to bring your influencer to life as a talking avatar.

At first, your AI influencer won’t be perfect — maybe a bit plastic, maybe not super emotional. But over time, they evolve into a powerful marketing asset.

• Even better, you can combine this with Virtual Try-On. Your AI influencer runs the campaign, offers a try-on in DMs, and shares the product link — driving massive engagement for both brands and creators.

AI isn’t just changing fashion marketing — it’s rewriting the rules.

From AI-generated campaigns to virtual try-ons and entire armies of AI influencers, brands now have tools that were unimaginable just a few years ago.
