Malik Afegbua, a Nigerian filmmaker who produces commercials and documentary films, in an interview with the BBC said he embraced the emergence of AI as a newly leading force in art. With the fashion show series, he saw it as an opportunity to challenge what he sees as marginalisation of older people in society.

He said he has never seen a fashion show for elderly people but they exist. The series shows elderly people of African origin dressed in fashionable clothes doing a ramp walk.

Answering the pertinent question of not using real elderly people and real fashion designers, Afegbua said it is the aspirational message behind the images that is crucial. Ruth Carter commented, “Who created this? Dope.”

“This is so beautiful,” said a user. “This is sooo impressive and captivating that it feels surreal!!! Amazing work Malik,” appreciated another. “The most beautiful stuff in fashion I have seen in year. Stunning!” wrote a third. “You make Old age look so sexy,” shared another netizen.

Recently, a Twitter user had imagined how pollution levels will rise in the future and created AI images to show a grim future. The images showed people wearing huge masks to breathe while working and children playing outside. The series of images shared by Madhav Kohli also showed smog enveloping the Taj Mahal.
