Patreon Preview from Blamo!Last month, Guess placed an ad in Vogue, featuring a flawless model wearing a striped maxi dress. Printed in small font along the ad's edge, there was a disclosure: this model was generated using AI. And this past week, J. Crew had to come clean about their use of AI technology to promote their Vans collab. Peter and Derek talk about what AI might mean for the menswear industry. How might it impact jobs and creativity? Or how could it change factory production? And what might it mean for the culture that gives our clothes meaning?**Listen to the entire episode and view all the shownotes on the Blamo! Patreon
My guest this week is Andrew Chen, the founder of 3sixteen.Andrew’s actually been on the pod before, way back in the very first season, around four hundred episodes ago.

But for others, it’s the seasonal collections, the lookbooks, the whole world they build around it. We get into all of that—mainly how Andrew and his team have managed to evolve the brand without it ever really looking like it’s evolved at all.Andrew and I talk about what’s been happening at 3sixteen, why everyone seems to love bigger jeans right now, big lookbook energy, the rise of run clubs and cafés inside retail stores.*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch
