It positions Copy Magazine as an object of contemplation, encouraging readers to reflect on traditional concepts of authorship and originality, while interrogating the role of nostalgia and the biases inherent in dominant fashion narratives. By framing Copy Magazine as a niche publication, the thesis draws a parallel between the act of publishing and curatorial process. This perspective highlights Copy's function as a curated platform that aims to challenge conventional norms and fosters critical engagement with the cultural and technological implications of AI in fashion communication. The thesis concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of AI-generated visuals for the fashion industry. While fashion synthography represents a significant technological advancement, it also challenges foundational principles of authenticity, creativity and aesthetics. As Copy Magazine demonstrates, these images are not merely tools for commercial storytelling but also artefacts that invite us to critically engage with the rapidly evolving intersections of fashion and technology.
