IMAGE VARIATIONS
Outfit variations on one figure, look by look
Stylists, costume designers and fashion brands often need the same person concept in several looks: workwear and weekend, summer and winter, a palette for each collection. In ImageQuarry you select the image and ask for a different outfit in words, keep each look as a version, and branch from the one that works, so the comparison is between finished-looking options rather than mood boards.
Describe garments, fabric and color concretely, and keep the face and pose in each request.

Outfit variation requests
The first quotes one of ImageQuarry's own example requests.
Apply a texture
Attaching a fabric swatch is often clearer than describing it.
Occasion change
The same person concept dressed for different occasions tells a fuller story.
Layering
Layers change the silhouette and the season at once.
Palette per collection
Brands often show one figure in each collection's palette.
Period costume
Costume designers test period looks on the cast concept.
Workwear
Profession-specific clothing is a common request for editorial and campaign imagery.
What makes outfit variations useful
Fabric reads in light
Wool, linen, silk and denim catch light differently. Naming the fabric guides the look more than naming only the color.
Silhouette before color
The shape of an outfit is noticed before its color. Compare variations by outline first.
Fit has to be believable
Check sleeves, hems and how garments sit at the shoulders; small fit errors make an image feel off.
Concepts, not product shots
Outfit variations are concept images. Selling a specific garment needs photos of the real product.
Texture from a reference
You can add a texture or material as a reference to guide the result, as in the request Use this texture on the jacket.
Keep requests explicit
A change request can say what to keep as well as what to change.
Outfit decisions and how to ask
| Decision | Why it matters | Ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Occasion | Sets the whole look | Dressed for a winter evening event |
| Silhouette | First thing people notice | Wide-leg trousers and a cropped jacket |
| Fabric | How light falls | Heavy cotton canvas jacket |
| Palette | Collection identity | Navy, cream and tan only |
| Layers | Season and depth | Add an open overshirt |
| Accessories | Finishing detail | Add a leather belt and a canvas tote |
What are outfit variations?
Outfit variations are versions of an image where the same figure wears different clothing, used to compare looks for a lookbook, a campaign, a costume plan or a styling brief.
They are not product photos of real garments. To sell an item, show photos of that item as it really is.
Outfit variation questions
Can I change the outfit in a photo I upload?
Yes. Upload the image, select it and describe the new outfit.
Will the face and pose stay the same?
List them as things to keep. Review the new version to see how closely it followed that.
Can I use a fabric swatch?
Yes. Add it as a reference. References guide the result. Review each version to see how closely it follows them.
Can I try a look and go back?
Earlier versions are preserved, and you can branch from any version, not only the latest.
Can I build a whole lookbook?
Keep each look as a version, compare them and download the ones you need; keep the lookbook in its own project.
Should I describe the brand of each garment?
Describe the garment, fabric and color instead; brand names add little and can confuse the request.
How do I keep a consistent figure across many looks?
Branch every look from the same base version, and repeat the features to keep in each request.
Create an image. Edit it with words. Keep refining.
See every look on the same figure
Select the image, describe each outfit in concrete terms, and compare the looks side by side.
