From Kanjeevaram to Kalidar: AI-Powered Model Photos for Indian Fashion

by Blend Team

Jul 18, 2025

Indian fashion is a world of rich textures, intricate craftsmanship, and bold colors. Whether it’s the elegance of a Kanjeevaram saree, the flare of a Kalidar kurta, or the sparkle of festive lehengas, every piece tells a story.

But here’s the challenge: How do you capture that story for today’s digital-first audience? Flatlays and hanger shots fall short — they don’t convey drape, flow, or fit. Enter Blend’s Try On: an AI-powered tool that transforms your product images into stunning model photoshoots in seconds.

🛍️ Why Presentation Matters in Indian Fashion

For online shoppers, visuals make or break a purchase. Buyers want to see the garment in action — how a saree pleats, how a dupatta drapes, how colors pop against skin tones.

Without it, even the most exquisite piece can get lost on a marketplace like Myntra, Amazon, or Etsy.

Try On bridges this gap by creating editorial-style images featuring your garments on diverse models, styled for Instagram-ready aesthetics.

✨ How Try On Elevates Your Catalogue

  • Show Realistic Draping Without a Photoshoot
    Upload a flat product photo, pick a model (or let “Surprise Me” choose), and watch as your garment comes to life — complete with realistic folds, textures, and flow.
  • Celebrate Cultural Diversity
    Choose models representing your audience’s ethnicity and style preferences for authentic appeal.
  • Perfect for Every Occasion Wear Segment
    Bridal lehengas, festive sarees, casual kurtis — Try On adapts styling for each category effortlessly.
  • Marketplace-Optimized
    Stand out on platforms with professional-quality images that look like studio shoots — but without the studio costs.

🌸 Aesthetic That Wins Instagram

Instagram thrives on lifestyle storytelling. Try On lets you:

  • Create vibrant, styled model shots for your grid and reels
  • Use carousels for Before/After transformations (Flatlay → Styled Look)
  • Add diversity by generating multiple models for one outfit for your Stories and ads

Think of a Kanjeevaram saree shot against a soft temple-inspired background, or a pastel Anarkali styled in a chic urban setting — all generated in minutes.

✅ Why Sellers Are Loving This

“Our festive collection went live in two days instead of two weeks — all because we didn’t need a traditional photoshoot.”
— Ananya, Saree Boutique Owner, Chennai

“Try On gave our kurtas a premium look on Instagram. Engagement went up 3x, and we saved a fortune on model shoots.”
— Farhan, Indo-Fusion Brand Founder
