They take off this robes in their houses, and in places where garments are unnecessary. But everywhere and always they are very attentive to cover their persons with great care and modesty. Wherein they are superior to other nations, especially to the Chinese.” Father Chirino - Relacion de las Islas Filipinas 1602 One of the earliest records of Philippine fashions comes from the 16th century manuscript known as the Boxer Codex. 15th century Filipinos were described to wear stylish and lavishly beaded clothing from only the best and most expensive materials available at that time. In 1591, the Chinese merchants sold over 200,000 robes of cotton and silk up and down the islands. This shopping spree caused such an alarm to the Spanish regime because chiefs and slaves wore the same extravagant silk and lavishly beaded outfits, making it impossible to judge their rank from their dress. Another concern was the exorbitant amount of money Filipinos spent on their clothes, which the colonizers maintained should go to the Spanish treasury instead of the pockets of the Chinese traders.

    Fashion Outfit Generation for E-commerce Elaine M. Bettaney Stephen R. Hardwick ASOS.com ASOS.com London, UK London, UK [email protected] [email protected] Odysseas Zisimopoulos Benjamin Paul Chamberlain ASOS.com ASOS.com London, UK London, UK [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Combining items of clothing into an outfit is a major task in fashion retail. Recommending sets of items that are compatible with a particular seed item is useful for providing users with guidance and inspiration, but is currently a manual process that requires expert stylists and is therefore not scalable or easy to personalise. We use a multilayer neural network fed by visual and textual features to learn embeddings of items in a latent style space such that compatible items of different types are embedded close to one another. We train our model using the ASOS outfits dataset, which consists of a large number of outfits created by professional stylists and which we release to the research community. Our model shows strong performance in an offline outfit compatibility prediction task. We use our model to generate outfits and for the first time in this field perform an AB test, comparing our generated outfits to those produced by a baseline model which matches appropriate product types but uses no information on style. Users approved of outfits generated by our model 21% and 34% more frequently than those generated by the baseline model for womenswear and menswear respectively. KEYWORDS Representation learning, fashion, multi-modal deep learning 1 INTRODUCTION User needs based around outfits include answering questions such as "What trousers will go with this shirt?", "What can I wear to a Figure 1: An ASOS fashion product together with associated party?" or "Which items should I add to my wardrobe for summer?".

  • Mining Fashion Outfit Composition Using an End-To-End Deep Learning Approach on Set Data
    1 Mining Fashion Outfit Composition Using An End-to-End Deep Learning Approach on Set Data Yuncheng Li, LiangLiang Cao, Jiang Zhu, Jiebo Luo, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—Composing fashion outfits involves deep under- standing of fashion standards while incorporating creativity for choosing multiple fashion items (e.g., Jewelry, Bag, Pants, Dress). In fashion websites, popular or high-quality fashion outfits are usually designed by fashion experts and followed by large audiences. In this paper, we propose a machine learning system to compose fashion outfits automatically. The core of the proposed automatic composition system is to score fashion outfit candidates based on the appearances and meta-data. We propose to leverage outfit popularity on fashion oriented websites to supervise the scoring component. The scoring component is a multi-modal multi-instance deep learning system that evaluates instance aesthetics and set compatibility simultaneously. In order to train and evaluate the proposed composition system, we have collected a large scale fashion outfit dataset with 195K outfits and 368K fashion items from Polyvore. Although the fashion outfit scoring and composition is rather challenging, we have achieved an AUC of 85% for the scoring component, and an accuracy of 77% for a constrained composition task.

  • Welcome to the Fashion Costume Gallery
    Welcome to the Fashion Costume Gallery Costume History Timeline click on thumbnails for larger images and information 1890 1900 1910 1950 1960 1970 1980 Wedding Ensemble c. 1898 This dress was donated to CSUS by Professor Emeritus, Jeline Ware. Her grandmother wore the ensemble for her wedding in 1898. In 1924 the dress was worn by her mother for her wedding, and then by her mother's youngest sister for her wedding in 1940. The dress was worn again by Jeline Ware's mother for her 25 th wedding anniversary in 1949. This two piece ensemble contains a fitted, fully boned, bodice with a long full skirt with train. The ensemble is made out of light weight wool with silk ribbon accents. Silk pleated ribbon decorates the hem of the skirt. It also decorates the bodice and sleeves in beautiful scroll patterns. The bust insert, which is made of chiffon, was added in 1949. The ensemble is finished off by a wide silk belt with a bow. This piece embodies many of the characteristics of clothing from the era. During the 1890s, two piece dresses with boned detail bodices were popular. During this period skirts were full, but lacked the bustles that had been so popular in the previous decade. In the latter years of the 1890s sleeves became narrow compared to the large puffed sleeves that had been popular during the first part of the decade. -Rachel Young Lace Undergarment c. 1903 Undergarments such as this white lace combination bodice and drawers were worn by women and girls under a corset throughout the late 1890's and into the early twentieth century.
