Abstract
Convolutional Neural Networks have been highly successful in performing a set of computer vision tasks such as object recognition, object detection, image segmentation and texture syntheses. Gatys et al. (Gatys, Ecker, & Bethge 2015b) show how the artistic style of a painter can be extracted from an image of the painting and applied to another normal photograph, thus recreating the photo in the style of the painter. The method has been successfully applied to a wide range of images and has since spawned multiple applications and mobile apps. In this theses, the neural style transfer method is applied to fashion to synthesize custom clothes. We create a personalization model that is able to generate new custom clothes based on a user's preference and by learning the user's fashion choices from a limited set of clothes from their closet. The approach is evaluated by analyzing the generated images of clothes and how they align with the user's fashion style.
