🤖🧵 Imagine a fashion factory where algorithms predict trends faster than TikTok virals and robots stitch designs before influencers can say 'haul video.' That's the reality in 2026 at Hangzhou's E-Fashion Town, where AI is rewriting the rules of clothing production.
Gone are the days of massive bulk orders gathering dust in warehouses. Thanks to smart systems analyzing real-time social media buzz and global sales data, factories now produce micro-batches tailored to fleeting Gen-Z tastes. 🌍✨ CGTN's He Jingyi reports that this tech shift lets manufacturers pivot faster than a K-pop dance routine—slashing waste and keeping supply chains dancing to the rhythm of demand.
One factory manager told us: 'Our AI doesn't just track trends—it anticipates them. Last month, we produced 500 limited-run jackets inspired by a viral Lunar New Year meme… and sold out in 48 hours.' 🚀👚
While critics debate AI's impact on jobs, industry leaders emphasize upskilling programs teaching workers to collaborate with their robot colleagues. As 2026 unfolds, China's garment sector proves that in the fast-fashion race, silicon and stitches make the ultimate power duo. 💡🔧
