While cloud computing provides scalable infrastructure, real-time collaboration, and data processing capabilities, AI introduces intelligent au- tomation, predictive analytics, generative design, and personalized decision-making. In fashion education, AI-powered tools enhance creativity, virtual prototyping, digital de- sign capabilities, and industry readiness by enabling students to experiment with inno- vative concepts in simulated environments. Simultaneously, cloud-based platforms fa- cilitate collaborative learning, scalable storage, and access to professional design and simulation software. Within the fashion industry, cloud computing supports digital transformation across supply chain management, manufacturing operations, customer experience, and sustainability initiatives. AI-driven analytics further enable demand forecasting, inventory optimization, waste reduction, and customer personalization. However, challenges relating to cybersecurity, privacy protection, algorithmic bias, transparency, organizational resistance, and legacy system integration continue to hin- der implementation. This paper synthesizes current literature and proposes an AI– Cloud Fashion Transformation Framework that conceptualizes cloud computing as the infrastructure layer and AI as the intelligence layer supporting transformation across educational and industrial domains. The findings suggest that successful digital trans- formation requires not only technological adoption but also effective governance, workforce development, ethical implementation, and organizational commitment. The proposed framework contributes to understanding how AI and cloud computing collec- tively drive innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence within fashion eco- systems.
