We welcome new doctoral students

Codi Körner (left) and Andrea Rehbein will join the research team as Doctoral Candidates in Fine Arts in Design with a Specialisation in Fashion Design, starting from September 1st. Both convinced us with their expertise in the field of fashion design, their experience and curiosity for implementing artificial intelligence systems in design practice, and their overall ambition to contribute to the Swedish textile and fashion field from an academic and industry perspective. The TexAI team welcomes both to their ranks and looks forward to shaping AI-supported innovation in the textile and fashion field together in the coming years.

3D scanner enables digital garment archives

What if garment archives could be situated in digital environments and serve as data sources for generative AI systems? Recent investments in the portable 3D scanning device Shining 3D EinScan Rigil enable the creation of highly realistic digital twins of physical garments that capture not only garment shape and textile surface characteristics but also subtle material expressions such as creases and folds. Utilising these digital twins as data sources for AI-supported design ideation may facilitate more faithful translations of garment expressions that are specific to a brand’s design language. We are excited to explore the opportunities this presents, as well as its potential implications for future design practice in the fashion industry.

AI to enhance future learning and skills development

Johannes Sahlin, a researcher within TexAI, has had a paper accepted to the international conference DESRIST 2026 on how generative AI can support the production of digital educational materials. The research demonstrates how AI can be used to transform course content into lectures, presentations and videos, while teachers retain responsibility for quality, pedagogy and content. Within TexAI, the technology is now planned to be explored further to strengthen skills development and learning in the transformation of the textile sector. DESRIST 2026 brings together close to 200 researchers in information systems in Germany in June. Johannes Sahlin contact page
