The way modeling can work is that you take a photograph of a mannequin with the clothes upon it then digitally add in facial features or skin tone.

Even just being able to shift skin tone, and not show a face will work and will add to profitablily because people do want to know that clothing will work with their complexion

Ehh, this could backfire if it ends up in the uncanny valley realm. Consumers prefer images of models wearing clothing, because it shows the fitment. They may flock to brands that explicitly use real models.

IMO, modeling is one of those things that will never go away because of how cheap this labor is compared to hiring someone to make a software solution. Just like how it is cheaper to stock a fast food joint with a few minimum wage people worked to the bone than a sleek robot with a pricey service contract, even if the latter is sexier.
