From sketchto garment

Our focus is futuristic silhouettes that feel both flattering and comfortable.

This is the working method behind yanabana's AI-native fashion: human taste leads, machine intelligence expands the visual field, and selected concepts move toward real garments.

Every piece starts with a hand sketch. Pen and paper. Sometimes watercolor.

The sketch is then transformed into editorial imagery with AI to imagine what the garment could look like IRL. We've developed a precise process for preserving the originality of the sketch while still making the result feel realistic. That's surprisingly difficult with today's image models, which often drift away from the original input in pursuit of “realism.”

From there, we iterate with AI until something clicks. Sometimes we intentionally let the AI hallucinate to surface unexpected directions. Whether those ideas make it into the final piece is ultimately a matter of taste.

Once we're happy with a concept, we gather public input before selecting garments to produce. Much of the construction is draped directly on a mannequin, though we also use AI-assisted pattern-making for more architectural silhouettes.
