Transform Fashion EComm with AI - From the Showroom to your Homeroom
Jean Criss
In embarking on a new chapter in the Web3, luxury, and digital fashion space, with a focus on digital media and women's presence in technology, I find myself captivated by the countless possibilities in the global arena of AI, media, and entertainment.
Impressively, the global artificial intelligence market was projected to witness substantial growth, with an expected CAGR of over 40% from 2021 to 2027, ultimately reaching a market size exceeding $300 billion by 2027. The 'Global Intimate Apparel Market Report 2022 - 2026' presents an insightful analysis of the current global market scenario, highlighting the latest trends, drivers, and the overall market environment.
Key factors driving this market include a preference for visually appealing intimate apparel among fashion-conscious consumers, particularly women. Additionally, competitors' focus on providing consumer-oriented products, especially bras, tailored to specific needs, and established brands carving their niche in development are contributing to market growth. Notably, the shift in perception of underwear and lingerie from mere necessities to fashion products that complement a well-toned body has significantly fueled demand. Furthermore, the availability of a wide range of products in various designs for different purposes, including sports, bridal wear, and regular wear, has been a driving force behind market expansion.
The 'Global Women Lingerie Market' was valued at approximately $46.48 billion in 2023, showing a robust growth rate of 9.7%, with expectations of reaching an estimated value of $89.4 billion by 2030. In parallel, the online lingerie market is set to grow by approximately USD 9591.64 million during the period from 2022 to 2027, with an accelerating CAGR of 11.17%.
Back in 2017, CRISSCROSS Intimates initially entered the market as a conventional e-commerce platform, offering innovative post-surgical designs tailored for breast cancer survivors. Over time, we expanded our scope to encompass the adaptive and athleisure markets, effectively broadening our reach while championing diversity and accessibility. Global market intelligence indicated growth potential across all these markets, and our hybrid collection evolved at the intersection of these industries, seamlessly blending fashion, healthcare, and retail primarily to drive brand innovation.
These findings underscore the exciting prospects within the digital fashion and intimate apparel industry, with a focus on innovation, consumer-oriented products, and the evolving landscape of AI and technology. The growth potential is significant, promising a bright future for CRISSCROSS Intimates and its commitment to delivering meaningful solutions in this dynamic market.

Drawing from over 25 years of experience in digital media, technology, and fashion, I set foot to not only partner and establish our brand in these markets but now join forces in the Web3 landscape, to uncover novel ways in which consumers can interact, purchase, and engage with products through the benefit of digital AI. This journey led me to discover and learn about AI tools, leaving me astounded by the extensive spectrum of these products, their capabilities, and their astonishing performance. These applications provide an unparalleled user experience, a far cry from the learning tools of yesteryears, benefiting consumers like me.
Despite lacking a programming background, the user-friendly nature of these AI tools empowers me to automate media processes like never done before. Such as creating compelling digital product designs, 3D modeling, media campaigns, presentations, film and videos within mere minutes or days, replete with all the intricate details that previously may have taken weeks or months to produce. The rapidity with which these tools comprehend <prompts> and generate the desired output is nothing short of astounding, bordering on overwhelming. As we forge ahead into new domains and avenues of product design and development in fashion and other industries, we've harnessed this firsthand by crafting new applications.
I ventured into the world of digital AI years ago, recognizing a unique opportunity to cater to both consumers and cancer survivors by providing a novel way to access undergarments with a meaningful cause. This digital AI journey brings the convenience of shopping directly to your doorstep, enabling customers to visualize undergarments customized to their unique body types. Through simple adjustments such as choosing colors, sizes, and preferred styles, consumers can assess whether a specific piece resonates with their preferences, taking functional fashion and form to new heights.
This immersive approach signifies a significant departure from the traditional 'showroom' experience, offering a highly personalized 'homeroom' encounter. In this context, 'homeroom' denotes an intimate and tailored interaction with the product.
It's essential to highlight that this experiential product styling primarily centers on design and style choices. It empowers customers to explore, engage with, and envision products in an environment that feels like their own space. This immersive experience equips consumers with the tools to make well-informed decisions regarding colors, patterns, materials, and overall aesthetics, ensuring that their selected products perfectly align with their personal tastes and interior design preferences.
However, it's crucial to stress that this immersive approach doesn't diminish the fundamental importance of ensuring proper fit and functionality of the product. While customers can experiment with various styles and design elements, maintaining a balance between aesthetics and practicality remains paramount. The ultimate objective is to achieve a seamless fusion of style and functionality, ensuring that products not only look appealing but also perform their intended purpose effectively.
In summary, this immersive 'homeroom' experience redefines how consumers engage with products, placing a strong emphasis on design and style personalization while upholding the vital significance of functionality and fit. It introduces a comprehensive approach to product selection, elevating the overall shopping experience and empowering customers to make choices that authentically resonate with their individual preferences and requirements.
In my upcoming CRISSCROSS blog post, titled 'An Immersive Cause for Good,' I plan to delve deeper into the world of Immersive AI in digital fashion. I'll share insights and findings about these technologies, explaining why I find them so intriguing and inspiring as we design and develop products for a sustainable future in this exciting blend of fashion and tech.
