How I Turned a Single Trend Insight Into My SS26 Collection Using Weaver AI

The Result: A fluid halter dress in georgette with small-scale leopard spots in fresh seasonal colorways — ready for my SS26 collection.

Spotted something in the trend forecast — and turned it into a full look using Weaver AI. While going through the Spring/Summer '26 print forecast by Plumager, one micro-trend caught my eye — small-scale leopard-inspired spots, reworked in fresh, seasonal colorways. That was the spark.

Here's how the full design came together — from reference to garment — using Weaver AI:

Step 1 — Starting from Trend

I took the references, color palette, and visual vibe from the Plumager SS26 forecast and uploaded them to the Moodboard section inside Weaver AI.

Moodboard Collection:

• Plumager forecast references
• Seasonal color palette
• Fabric type

Prompted: "Use only 3 colors and make the pattern spots a bit more detailed. Increase the spacing between the spots by 0.25 cm."

Weaver generated four spot-on options (no pun intended). Clean, wearable, and totally in sync with what I had imagined.

Step 2 — Repeat that Actually Works

After choosing the pattern, I explored repeat sizes directly inside Weaver. Used the live preview to scale up the design — landed on a repeat size that felt just right for georgette.

Step 3 — From Swatch to Silhouette

The forecast also outlined some key silhouettes — fluid halter dresses, especially in lightweight fabrics. I uploaded a flat sketch of the silhouette, selected georgette as the fabric, and applied the generated print.

Just like that — a wearable piece ready for the collection.

Step 4 — Tweaks that Matter

Once I saw the mockup, I asked for a smaller print size and reduced opacity for better drape and subtlety. Weaver adjusted instantly — no back and forth, no layering files.

Step 5 — Export for Production

Finally, I exported the generated pattern in layers for printing and further editing — giving me full control over the production process while maintaining the design integrity.

From trend forecast to finished mockup in one smooth loop. Weaver AI didn't just speed things up — it let me stay closer to the trend story, while playing with real design decisions in real time. Here I am starting my collection for SS26, focusing more on my design process and innovative design, and leaving the formation part to Weaver AI.
