  Originating from the premise that Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
enrich creative processes rather than diluting them, we describe an ongoing PhD
project that proposes to study GANs in a co-creative context. By asking How can
GANs be applied in co-creation, and in doing so, how can they contribute to
fashion design processes? the project sets out to investigate co-creative GAN
applications and further develop them for the specific application area of
fashion design. We do so by drawing on the field of mixed-initiative
co-creation. Combined with the technical insight into GANs' functioning, we aim
to understand how their algorithmic properties translate into interactive
interfaces for co-creation and propose new interactions.
