How do I create fashion photos with different ethnicities using AI?
Short answer: Use Nightjar's Fashion Try-On. Upload your clothing and specify model ethnicity in Special requests. The AI generates authentic, diverse representation that reflects your customer base.
Why diversity matters for fashion brands
