About the brand

‍

Sportswear meets streetwear, at catalogue speed

‍

SikSilk blends performance-driven design with bold prints and contemporary fits, sold across Europe, the US, and Asia. Every season brings 200+ new SKUs, and each one needs on-model imagery for e-commerce. At that volume, how fast and how consistently SikSilk can produce visuals directly shapes how fast the brand can move.

‍

The Challenge

‍

Traditional studio shoots couldn’t keep pace

‍

Each season meant booking photographers, models, and studios, plus weeks of planning to get every image on point. And when a fit looked off, or the creative director wanted a different angle, the whole production had to run again. Expensive, slow, and hard to iterate.

‍

The SOLUTION WITH DAZZL

‍

A brand-exclusive AI model, trained on SikSilk

‍

SikSilk partnered with Dazzl to train a private model on their best past shoots, garments, and style guides. From there, producing a new image takes three steps:

01Shoot

Shoot the garment

Snap the product flat-lay straight from the Dazzl app. The TrueShade marker keeps every generated image true to the original colour.

02Generate
Generate on-model images

Generate on-model

Pick the model and poses, generate on-brand images in minutes — with stitch-level fidelity and consistent art direction.

03Publish
Final image live on SikSilk store

Publish

Drop the finished image straight onto the product page. Store-ready files, approved and downloaded in one click.

HUMAN AI

Cast once. Reused across the whole catalogue.

‍

For SikSilk we cast a real male model, who signed an image-rights agreement for his likeness.

‍

Dazzl digitised him once. Every image since is generated from that licensed likeness, with no re-shoots, no studio days, and no travel. He was briefed, paid, and signed off on the usage, all without leaving his sofa.

‍

SikSilk gets one consistent face across the catalogue, and the model gets paid for a likeness that keeps working.

Prefer no real model? Brands can use a fully custom, fully synthetic Dazzl model instead.
