Cover Story: This study assessed the effectiveness of Midjourney, a diffusion-modeling-based AI system, in both fashion design and related commerce applications using the action research approach and the Functional, Expressive, and Aesthetic (FEA) Consumer Needs Model as the theoretical framework. Findings reveal this AI tool can assist fashion designers in creating both visually expressive attire and ready-to-wear products, meeting defined design criteria and consumer needs. Potential e-commercial applications of such AI systems were proposed, benefiting physical and digital fashion businesses. View this paper
