My son Jonathan Klein is a professional commercial artist. He studied to be a concept artist to create characters. Over the past 20 years he has had a career creating environments, characters AND the clothing they wear for various companies. In recent years he has learned how to use AI in his work. Occasionally he has used some of my photographs in his work.

In the spring of 2024 one evening I asked him to use some of my print designs with AI to create illustrations for print designs. AI distorted the images and the result was not good. So I asked him to remove the print design and simply use colorful prints to create illustrations of couture fashion. And after some experimentation here are some of the “illustrations” we have created for a line of “colorful couture” gowns.

Along with creating cheongsam/qipao style dresses, Jonathan and I, along with new partners, hope to create collections of contemporary dresses in this style. Coming soon!
