This workshop explores the intersection of analog making and AI-assisted design through a structured creative process. Participants begin with a photo self-portrait — a digital representation of the body — which they deconstruct and reassemble as a hand-made collage. The resulting composition is then employed as a visual prompt for AI image generation, producing an original garment design grounded in personal identity. The process critically engages with questions of authorship, embodiment, and the role of craft knowledge within computational design practice.
Gili Azran is a fashion designer and lecturer at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, where she teaches digital fashion, 3D garment simulation, gaming fashion design, and computational styling. Her practice bridges traditional craft and digital tools — from pattern making and costume design to Browzwear, CLO3D, and AI-assisted design. She holds a BA from Bezalel and studied fashion in Barcelona, where she also exhibited and sold her work internationally. Alongside her academic work, she runs her own studio specializing in costume and fashion design for cultural productions and festivals.
