This one’s for the mess. For the nostalgia. For the whims, the inside jokes, the doodles that don’t make sense, the handwritten love notes that get wrinkled in your pocket.
AI Could Neverrr is a collection that celebrates everything unscannable, unquantifiable, and beautifully, absurdly human as more am more AI in fashion flops occur.
It’s my little rebellion — against perfection, against logic, and yes… against the rise of “prompt-engineered personality.”
Because no matter how good the tech gets, it can’t recreate the magic of a gut feeling, a handmade hem, or an idea that serves no purpose other than it made you smile.
This collection is stitched together with:
• History that can’t be optimized
• Texture that isn’t machine smooth
• Emotions without algorithms
• And design choices that don’t make sense, but make you feel
It’s a reminder that the most powerful thing about being human isn’t utility.
It’s our authenticity. Our irrational love of beauty. Our instinct to dance, even if no one’s watching. Our ability to make art just because we can.
AI Could Neverrr is playful.
It’s layered.
It’s intentionally analog.
And above all, it’s alive and exceptionally human!
The Gator Girl Crop Top

The Gator Girl Crop Top takes its inspiration from a vintage 1800s photograph of a young woman holding a small alligator with perfect calm. Her face is neutral, her pose steady, her choice: wild. The repeated image on the back makes it impossible to ignore, like the echo of a dare. This piece captures the reckless-but-confident human spirit: uncalculated, illogical, alive. Because an AI can replicate patterns, but it can’t will itself into risk. It can’t choose the absurd just because it feels right. Only people can.
The Authentici-Tee

The Authentici-Tee celebrates the glorious absurdity of being human. It features four early 1900s portraits of a woman pulling ridiculous faces in an era when photos were meant to be solemn. Between the rows: the word AUTHENTICITY. This tee is a reminder that authenticity is often spontaneous, often strange, and always worth honoring. Machines may mimic, but they can’t make faces just to amuse themselves. Only people can indulge in impulse and call it joy.

The Votes for Women Grayscale Crew Neck
The Votes for Women Crew Neck centers on an early 1900s image of a cat in a hat, proudly carrying a suffragette sign. Rendered in grayscale, the piece speaks to the ongoing truth: justice is rarely black or white, it’s messy, nuanced, gray. The humor of a cat in such a serious moment reflects the human instinct to find light in struggle, a yin-and-yang balance that moves us forward. Because even in the fight for rights, people used levity to survive.
That tension, that resilience? AI will never capture the messy humanity of it.
The Camp! Crop Top

The Camp! Crop Top fuses Annie Oakley and Karlie Kloss (who woulda paired them together?) in a collision of history and meme. The top features Oakley mid-trick shot, firing backward at a target using only a mirror. It’s pure spectacle, pure camp. To me, it’s impossible not to see the echo of Karlie Kloss’s infamous “looking camp right in the eye” look at the 2019 Met Gala. Whether intentional or accidental, it’s a reminder that humans always circle back to the dramatic, the theatrical, the ridiculous, because we can’t help it. AI doesn’t get camp. It can’t. Camp is an unreplicable impulse, and that’s the point.
