The tech firm will showcase its latest innovation that helps fashion brands and retailers save money and time while diversifying shopping experiences through AI generated human models
Fashion tech start-up Lalaland will participate in the world’s largest tech fair, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, starting on 5 January 2022. The 70 most innovative start-ups and scale-ups from the Netherlands will showcase their services and capabilities during the four-day event to more than 170,000 companies and investors from nearly 160 countries. Lalaland joins other Dutch participants at this year’s event, including the Dutch Mission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Change, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. The Meta Model Creator, Lalaland’s latest industry-revolutionizing innovation using AI technology, will be launched at CES 2022. The product is the only virtual fashion model creator in the world that gives fashion brands, retailers, and digital designers the opportunity to generate virtual fashion models of every size, shape, and skin complexion.
Lalaland uses AI to create artificial humans for fashion e-commerce and is built on two main pillars: social empowerment and sustainability, said Harold Smeeman, co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Lalaland. Lalaland empowers both consumers and brands to pluralize beauty standards by making the web more diverse and inclusive. Lalaland also combats exploitation and helps reduce carbon emissions by decreasing return rates by at least 10%. The largest impact comes through Lalaland’s tech ability to deliver social empowerment and sustainability at scale, added Smeeman. We are excited to showcase these features and our mission at CES.
The award-winning fashion tech start-up has also been making waves industry-wide, earning various accolades and recognition, including: Finalist in the Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge Tommy Hilfiger, which is owned by PVH Corporation, announced that Lalaland is one of the six finalists of the 2021 Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge. Finalists were carefully selected from over 430 applications received from start-ups and scale-ups globally. Building on Tommy Hilfiger’s sustainability vision to Waste Nothing and Welcome All, the program’s third edition strives to continue amplifying and supporting black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) entrepreneurs who are working to advance their communities while fostering a more inclusive future of fashion. Selected as a recipient of the Google Black Founders Fund Lalaland is one of 30 start-ups globally that has been selected by Google for funding from the Google for Start-ups Black Founders Fund. This support is especially meaningful to Lalaland and its founder and CEO Michael Musandu. Born in Zimbabwe, Musandu followed his passion for programming at school in South Africa. In the Netherlands, he studied computer science at the VU Amsterdam and completed a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence at Utrecht University. “This investment will help us accelerate Lalaland’s mission focused on diversity and inclusion,” noted Musandu. Lalaland will be showcasing the Meta Model Creator at CES in the NL Tech Square Start-Up Pavilion in Eureka Park at Tech West in the Venetian Expo Venue, Level 1, Hall G.
