The big AI saving in fashion is not pressing a button. It is reducing the operation around every asset: coordination, shooting, editing, review, rework, formats and publishing. If that operation remains internal, savings evaporate.
CONCIERGE or CO-MANAGED: who prepares the collection
CONCIERGE is DELFI's turnkey service: we collect garments, digitize them and manage the process from start to finish. It suits brands that want to delegate the operation of a large collection; logistics coverage is confirmed by location.
In CO-MANAGED, we train your team to photograph each garment following DELFI's guide, upload it to the platform and build looks. Your team selects models, poses and settings from the available options. DELFI reviews preproduction: if issues are found, it explains what to correct; your team adjusts and DELFI revalidates before authorizing and running production.
This review catches errors before they multiply across the collection, reducing rework, costs and delays. CO-MANAGED works remotely, including in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Chile. Quotes depend on the mode and collection; for photography, you pay for approved photos, not generated ones.

- Measure approved assets per team hour.
Virtual talent and commercial intent
DELFI aims to free operational capacity to connect talent and content with online sales. Hours saved and higher sales are different outcomes, each requiring its own evidence.
DELFI is an AI virtual talent agency focused on online sales. Proprietary virtual models and licensed celebrity digital clones connect with physical garments, visual direction, production and human review.
How to make it practical
Implementation improves when every channel is defined from the start. Asking for pretty images is not enough: ask for packages by use, with proportions, formats, variants and publishing rules. That order avoids rework and makes production truly scalable.
Practical rule
Reducing opex is not doing less. It is making each internal person touch fewer repetitive tasks and more high-value decisions. DELFI works exactly on that frontier.
Measure transferred tasks and remaining work
List owners for receipt, direction, review, corrections and delivery. Compare internal hours before and after using an equivalent batch. Delegation reduces internal work only when your team stops performing or redoing the task.
Measure the work that changes before promising savings
Record a representative week of product preparation, direction, generation or production, review, corrections and exports. Identify who performs each task now and under the proposed offer. Time still required within the brand is not a saving.
Hypothetical example: production reduces internal retouching but adds time consolidating feedback. Include both changes and compare equivalent scope. Lower cost per generation does not establish lower cost per approved file.
DELFI publishes metrics reported by Topper; their scope does not justify applying the same saving to another collection. Total-cost calculation.
