Something I’ve been testing lately, generating full fashion lookbook layouts instead of single images One main shot, then smaller detail frames showing fabric, textures, hardware, stitching etc. It instantly makes things feel more like a real campaign instead of just an AI image Sharing the prompt below. Try it with different brands or styles and see how much the mood and typography change Prompt 👇 [BRAND NAME]. Act as a Creative Director and Brand Strategist. PHASE 1: CONCEPT & COMPOSITION.

PHASE 2: VISUAL STYLE & TEXTURE. "High-End Lo-fi" aesthetic. Intense film grain, analog noise, and scanline artifacts.
