Google has announced an experimental project in conjunction with Germany’s Zalando that will enable users to create virtual 3D fashion designs.
Founded out of Berlin in 2008, Zalando is a Zappos-style ecommerce fashion platform operating across more than a dozen markets in Europe. Now, courtesy of a new initiative called Project Muze, the company has turned to machine learning as it explores the potential of algorithms in clothing design.
