AI fashion photos: CONCIERGE, CO-MANAGED or software

Cover image: production by DELFI for Falabella.

When choosing software, an AI production agency or an in-house team, start with one question: who must deliver the approved photo? All three can play a role in fashion production. The practical difference is who owns preparation, direction, editing, review and delivery.

When operating software makes sense

A tool can fit if you already have someone responsible for references, generation, editing and validation. Your team controls experiments and production pace directly. Include that person’s time and rework alongside software spending when comparing costs.

When a fully managed agency fits

A managed service makes sense when you need a finished catalog without building the operation in-house. In CONCIERGE, DELFI collects and digitizes garments and handles visual direction, AI virtual models, production and human review. Your team retains brand approval.

Do not assume every provider is either pure software or a pure agency. Hybrid offerings exist. Compare the specific service being quoted, not a category label.

When to choose CO-MANAGED

If your team wants to photograph garments, upload them and build looks, CO-MANAGED provides that autonomy with DELFI training. Models, poses and settings are selected from the available options. DELFI reviews materials and configuration, requests adjustments when needed and revalidates before authorizing and carrying out production.

Preproduction review catches issues before they multiply across a full collection. This reduces rework, costs and delays while keeping a clear production owner. Compare CONCIERGE and CO-MANAGED

When to keep production in house

An internal team can make sense if your brand already has production, editing and review capacity, needs daily iteration or wants direct control over creative processes. Assess availability during collection peaks as well as ordinary weeks.

A comparison you can complete

• Preparation: who receives, identifies and prepares garments?
• Production: who defines models, styling and references?
• Corrections: who resolves an altered print or inaccurate fit?
• Delivery: who organizes photos by SKU and adapts formats?
• Full cost: provider or software, internal hours, editing and coordination.

Use the same brief and approval criteria for every option. Measure cost per approved photo and internal hours until publication, not only generated output. These are evaluation metrics for your team, not reported DELFI results.

Where DELFI fits

DELFI offers CONCIERGE and CO-MANAGED from 50 SKUs, with pricing based on the mode and collection. For photography, you pay for approved photos, not generated ones. Agree on deliverables, revisions and logistics before production; video needs its own defined scope.

Define the talent too

DELFI connects proprietary-IP virtual models with registered proprietary intellectual property and licensed digital clones of real celebrities: digital versions of real human models for agreed uses. The choice responds to the collection’s audience and commercial objective. A license does not imply exclusivity or unlimited permissions; talent does not replace garment review.

Who performs each task

• Prepare garments and references:
• Define model, styling and views:
• Generate or produce images:
• Edit and check the product:
• Consolidate feedback and approve:
• Deliver, upload and publish:

Assign supplier, in-house team or shared operation, then compare the complete cost.
