Glamour Bulgaria is the first high-profile fashion magazine to create a magazine cover shoot that was fully generated by artificial intelligence—and everything from art direction to styling took only about 20 minutes.
For this AI-generated magazine cover, Glamour Bulgaria created a Barbie-like design featuring the likeness of Lisa Opie, a former Miss Virgin Islands from Miami. The all-pink cover was made possible with AI artist named Fran H.
