The Waste Crisis: AI’s Answer to Overproduction

For years, fashion’s dirty little secret has been its staggering waste problem. Retailers overproduce, hoping to meet demand, only to find themselves slashing prices at end-of-season sales. 92 million tons of textile waste pile up annually, and that’s just the beginning.

Enter Stylumia, an AI-powered fashion analytics platform that helps brands predict demand with laser accuracy. Instead of relying on gut feelings or past trends, Stylumia’s algorithms analyze real-time consumer behavior to ensure brands produce exactly what will sell—not a piece more, not a piece less. The result? Fewer unsold garments, less waste, and more profitability. Brands like Zalando and Tommy Hilfiger have already tapped into AI-driven demand forecasting, leading to dramatic reductions in inventory waste.

Meanwhile, companies like DRESSX are completely flipping the script by pushing digital-only fashion. Why buy a fast-fashion piece for a single Instagram post when you can wear a zero-waste digital outfit instead? With AI-generated virtual garments available for gaming, social media, and the metaverse, the future of fashion consumption is no longer limited to physical textiles.

The industry’s future isn’t just about cutting waste. It’s about redefining consumption itself.

Supply Chain Nightmares: When AI Meets Tariff Engineering

Global fashion supply chains have always been a delicate balancing act, but in recent years, they’ve been in complete freefall. Between COVID-19 disruptions, shipping crises, and regulatory shake-ups, brands have been scrambling to maintain profit margins.

Then comes the tariff problem.

Fashion brands importing goods face constantly shifting trade policies, with tariffs cutting into their bottom lines. But at GEM, we help retailers use AI in tandem with Tariff Engineering—a strategy that legally reclassifies imported goods to minimize duty rates.

Take Lalaland.ai, an Amsterdam-based startup reshaping e-commerce by generating AI-powered virtual models. By reducing the need for international photo shoots and sample shipments, Lalaland is cutting logistics costs and minimizing cross-border trade complexities. Similarly, AI-driven material optimization tools, like those used by Browzwear, help brands tweak fiber compositions just enough to lower tariffs, all while maintaining quality.

A simple tweak—like adjusting the percentage of synthetic fibers in a blend—can reclassify a product into a lower tariff category, saving millions for retailers. AI makes these insights instantaneous, giving brands the agility they need to navigate global trade complexities.

For fashion retailers, it’s not just about designing great products anymore. It’s about designing smarter supply chains—and AI is the key.
