#0041 TERRI TROVATO - AI FASHION CREATOR!

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Creative Nowhere Land Podcast. This might be a controversial one, but on this episode I'm joined by AI creator, marketer, and also self-confessed romantic, Terri Trovato. Now, before anyone sees the words AI and starts immediately reaching for the pitchfork, I think it's important to say that this conversation isn't really about technology. It's about creativity Terri's journey began long before AI entered the mainstream. She worked on the edges of the fashion industry, assisting stylists in New York and trying to carve out a place for herself in a world that often felt difficult to access.Fashion was always the dream, but like so many other creative people, she found herself constantly looking through a window rather than being invited through the door. And then AI arrived. What started as simple curiosity quickly became an obsession, and armed with years of experience in styling, photography, advertising, and fashion, Terri discovered a new way to bring the images in her imagination to life. For the first time, she could create exactly what she saw in her mind without needing a studio, a model, a photographer, or even the actual clothes. Since then, her work has caught the attention of major fashion brands, taken her to Paris Fashion Week, led to collaborations with international fashion houses, and opened doors that she spent years trying to unlock through much more traditional routes In this conversation, we talk about Terri's route into the fashion industry, the frustrations of trying to break into a notoriously difficult world, and how an unexpected fascination with AI became the creative outlet that she'd been searching for.We explore the relationship between technology and creativity, discuss the difference between art and commerce, and ask whether AI is really something that artists should be afraid of. We also discuss gatekeeping, creative identity, and feeling like the ultimate imposter, but also what it feels like to finally be seen after years of feeling overlooked. Whether you're excited about AI, sceptical of it, or somewhere in between, I think you'll find this a really interesting conversation. Check out the links to Terri's social media to see some of her AI creations! Hope you enjoy this episode of The Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.TERRI TROVATO INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/territrovato.ai/Support the showCNL WEBSITE: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/joinCNL INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/creativenowhereland/CNL PODCAST MUSIC: https://www.instagram.com/jjodabeats/
