The lord is extending his influence over fashion schools, as artificial intelligence takes on an increasingly prominent role in the fashion industry. The luxury conglomerate LVMH has partnered with the French fashion school, along with its former director, Le Marrant, to establish a research chair dedicated to exploring the connections between science and creativity.

The stated goal is to gain a better understanding of how creative professionals interact with technology, while, above all, helping young people who can neither draw nor sew to let AI do the very job they should have learned to do themselves.

The man from Toledo, whom we had believed to be in Toledo, the president of the French Fashion Institute (IFM), explained that the school already teaches AI at every level, from vocational training to Master’s programs. Around half of the design students already use generative AI, he noted. In this way, craftsmanship will gradually disappear. The lord will be able to control, or continue controlling, the entire value chain. Workers will remain workers, managers will remain managers with their Master’s degrees, all under the domination of a handful of people.

A new endowment of €150,000 per year (“peanuts,” as Carter would say) will fund fundamental research aimed at understanding creative practices, the impact of new tools, and the environments most conducive to developing talent, for students who know nothing about fashion yet have an opinion on everything. Many thanks for the tax credit granted in his favor, which will be added to the €75 million the French state has already, in its infinite generosity, handed over to the lord’s group.
