Two AI-generated content pieces featuring Balenciaga, one with Pope Francis in a white puffer coat and another with a Harry Potter-themed fashion campaign, have recently gone viral. The creator, a Berlin-based YouTuber, photographer, and AI hobbyist known as Demon Flying Fox, used AI tools Midjourney, ElevenLabs, and D-ID to develop these creations in just a few days.
