Fashion Agent
Fashion Agent that automates sales workflows using your data and tools.
The challenge
Personal styling only ever reaches the top tier of customers, and everyone else browses a grid of single products. Size advice is guesswork, a large share of returns come down to fit rather than taste, and what customers actually keep never reaches the buying team.
The outcome
Azure AI Search filters live stock by size and season, a Microsoft Foundry agent assembles complete looks rather than single items, and Azure Machine Learning predicts size from measurements and return history. VIP clients and unusual briefs pass to a human stylist with the brief already prepared.

02 — Workflow
Process & decision workflow
How a brief becomes a wearable look — understand, search, style, fit and present, then branch. A confident match is shown with sizes and alternatives, while a VIP client or an unusual request hands across to a human stylist with the brief already prepared.
- Understand: Occasion, budget, body shape and taste captured
- Search: Catalogue filtered by stock, size and season
- Style: Complete looks assembled, not single products
- Fit: Size advised from measurements and return history
- Present: Look shown with imagery and styling notes
- Learn: Sell-through, keep rate and fit feedback tracked
- Path 1 · confident match — Present the look: Outfit shown with sizes and alternatives
- Path 2 · VIP or unusual request — Human stylist steps in: Brief, options and history handed across

AI responsibility boundaries
The agent styles from live stock and published product data, and never claims a fit it cannot support from measurements or return history. It does not comment on body image, hold payment data or apply discounts outside campaign rules. VIP clients and unusual briefs go to a human stylist with the brief already prepared.
05 — Personalization
Personalization & evolving process
The same methodology applies to every agent in the catalog. Tune the brand, the styling template, the fit rules and the value model — the page structure stays identical.
Brand & catalogue profile
Define the brand voice, categories, size systems, markets and seasonal calendar in scope. The personas are the shopper, the personal stylist, the buyer and the merchandising team.
Styling template
One consistent flow for every styling agent: understand the brief, search live stock, compose the look, advise on fit, present with imagery and learn from what is kept.
Fit & tone rules
Declare the size charts, fit tolerances, imagery standards, inclusive-language rules and the discount authority. Fit advice is always evidenced by measurements or return data.
Value model
Capture baseline metrics first, then map the expected benefits: basket size, keep rate, return rate, styling capacity, sell-through and customer satisfaction.
06 — Impact
Key outcomes & business impact
Starting targets for the value case — validate each one against the customer baseline during discovery.
