# 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.

## How to explore outfit variations with ImageQuarry

1. **Select the figure** Start from an image you generated or uploaded, with the full outfit visible.
2. **Describe the new look** Name the garments, fabric and color: a charcoal wool overcoat over a cream roll-neck, straight dark trousers, white leather trainers.
3. **Say what stays** List what to keep, such as the face, hair, pose and background. Review the new version to see how closely it followed that.
4. **Compare the looks** Compare versions side by side, choose the looks for the lookbook, brief or costume plan and download them.

## 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.
