As generative AI becomes more deeply embedded in fashion design workflows, the industry is beginning to confront a new reality: not all AI tools are built to support real fashion use cases, especially in sensitive categories like kidswear or intimates.

In response to evolving regulations and heightened safety standards, many generic tools, that focus on wide-purpose image and video generation, are constraining users from generating the desired images, limiting their creative workflows. For kidswear brands, this often translates into blocked prompts, limited on-body imagery, or incomplete workflows that stall design and production teams at critical stages. Not addressing these restrictions results in a major gap in meeting the fashion teams needs

At Straight Lines AI, we believe the solution isn’t to avoid complex categories like kidswear, but to design AI systems that understand and include the required governance for these categories. Because Ai shouldn’t create more blockers for your brand, it should super-power your full product lifecycle.

Fashion workflows are nuanced. They require context, guardrails, and an understanding of how design moves from concept to consumer. That includes responsibly enabling on-body imagery, iterative design exploration, and visual development, while remaining aligned with regulatory and safety requirements.

That’s why we’ve build our solution to enable end-to-end AI fashion workflows that don’t break down when compliance matters most. This approach allows brands to continue innovating across all categories, including kidswear, without resorting to workarounds or fragmented tools.

The future of AI in fashion won’t be defined by who can generate the most images the fastest. It will be shaped by platforms that understand how fashion teams actually work, and that take responsibility seriously, without sacrificing creativity or commercial viability.

That’s the standard we believe the industry should be moving toward.
