The Dawn of HumanAI
AI is inevitable. It’s happening.
Betting against evolution and progress is usually a bad decision.
So, we embrace it and use it to our advantage.
But we’ll always remember who we are—
HUMANS.

Tomorrow I turn 37.
(Stick around—there’s a birthday gift for YOU at the end of this email.)
And like every birthday, I’ve been asking myself:
Who do I want to be in the years ahead?
Naturally, I went to ChatGPT for help…
Not to crunch numbers. Not to write copy.
But to tap into something more personal: my style.
I asked AI to become my personal image consultant, helping me decide what to wear, what to buy, and how to align my wardrobe with the life I want to step into.
The results? Surprisingly good. And surprisingly human.

Let’s start by saying that style is not just vanity. It’s identity.
What we wear shapes how we feel and how the world responds to us.
Like it or not.
For centuries, only celebrities, politicians, or the wealthy could afford image consultants.
Now, with AI, anyone can access tailored advice, instantly, at zero cost.
It’s not about copying trends.
It’s about designing the version of you that you want to walk into the future.
⚡ AI REAL-LIFE USE: Turn ChatGPT into your Personal Stylist
As I always recommend to my clients, start defining the -in this case YOUR- WHY.
I’m a consultant specializing in Innovation, Marketing and Business. I do a lot of work for corporate clients, entrepreneurs, and now and then I do keynotes or they invite me to speak at universities.
So in my case, the goal was to: build a recognizable, high-status creative leader look with a memorable signature that works across keynotes, meetings, classrooms, and content.
This is how I did it, and how you can do it too:
Phase 0 — Set the Brief
Copy-paste prompt
You are my world-class image consultant and stylist.
Optimize my look for “Creative Leader with Rockstar aura.”
My details: 37yo, 1.74m, ~75kg, slim-fat, light skin, dark blonde/light brown curly hair.
I'm a business consultant specialized in Innovation, Marketing and Business. I speak at universities/companies (LATAM/US/AU) and post content on Social Media.
Priorities: stand out, authority, modern, minimal, rebellious-with-class.
Constraint: year-round outfits, easy to repeat as a uniform.
I want a fashion signature element.
Deliverables today: color palette, signature piece options, capsule wardrobe,
3 complete outfits (keynote, meeting/classroom, content), grooming/fit guidelines, and a one-sentence visual identity.
Result you should get:
A crisp style mission + first draft of palette, capsule list, and three outfits (we’ll refine in later phases).
Phase 1 — Diagnose: Body, Color, Vibe
Upload 3–5 photos (daylight, full-body, side profile, and a close-up).
Ask ChatGPT to analyze undertone, contrast, and silhouette.
Prompt
Analyze these photos for undertone, contrast level, and body proportions.
Recommend colors that sharpen my features, and call out fits that slim/structure my frame.
Return: (a) undertone + contrast, (b) best neutrals,
(c) bold accents, (d) ideal silhouettes for jackets/tees/jeans/chinos.
Result
A tailored color set (e.g., black/charcoal/navy base + red/burgundy/olive accents) and fit rules (semi-slim, structured shoulders, clean drape).
Phase 2 — Define Your Signature
Why it works for ME:
Nonconformity signals confidence + status when it’s clearly intentional and high quality (not sloppy).
Your “signature” = instant recall.
It works as the logo of a company. You see a symbol, color or something, and you think of that brand.
Prompt
Help me choose ONE visual signature I will repeat everywhere.
Give me options and score each for distinctiveness, practicality on stage, brand fit, and long-term use.
Recommend one and define rules for consistent use (where/when/how to combine).
Result
One non-negotiable signature (e.g. trucker hat, red sneakers, white watch) + usage rules.
Phase 3 — Build the Rockstar Capsule (shopping list you can actually buy)
Prompt
Based on the previous recommendations, create a 12-piece capsule.
Keep it minimal, premium, stage-ready, and seasonless:
- Tops: black turtleneck, 2 premium tees (black, olive), black hoodie
- Jackets: modern blazer (navy/charcoal), leather bomber (black or brown)
- Bottoms: 2 jeans (black, dark blue), 1 chino (olive)
- Shoes: red statement sneakers + white minimalist sneakers
- Accessories: steel watch, slim leather/steel bracelet, black bold glasses (optional)
For each piece: ideal fit notes, fabric, and tailoring tips (hems, sleeve length).
Result
A concise capsule with fit/tailor notes (e.g., jean hem just kissing the sneaker, blazer sleeve showing 0.5–1 cm of cuff, no puddling).
Phase 4 — AI Lookbook & Mockups (visualize before you buy)
Use ChatGPT’s image generation to preview full-body, uncropped mockups that resemble you. If your tool doesn’t allow exact face use, request a “close look-alike” with your traits.
Prompt (copy-paste, 16:9 wide triptych)
Generate a panoramic triptych lookbook based on the 3 main outfits we defined.
Full-body in frame (no cropping), 16:9.
Lighting: clean, cinematic, 50mm; sharp; color-accurate; show the entire outfit head-to-toe.
Return a single wide image with the three looks side by side.
Result
A visual board you can iterate on (change jacket tones, sneaker model, etc.) until it feels like you.

This is the result of my Lookbook
Phase 5 — Fit Check (photo feedback loop)
When the clothes arrive, take 3 photos (front/side/back, natural light).
Prompt
Critique fit and proportions from these photos.
Call out issues (shoulder width, sleeve length, torso compression, hem length,
leg opening) and give exact tailoring instructions in centimeters.
Return a punch list for my tailor.
Result
A tight tailoring checklist (e.g., blazer waist suppress 1.5 cm; jean hem shorten 2 cm; sleeve shorten 1 cm).
Example In Action — The Mencho Rockstar Capsule (12 pieces)
Tops: black turtleneck; black tee; olive tee; black hoodie
Jackets: charcoal/inky-navy blazer; black (or brown) leather bomber
Bottoms: black jean (slim); dark blue jean (slim); olive chino (slim)
Shoes: red statement sneakers; white minimalist sneakers
Accessories: steel watch; slim leather/steel bracelet; black bold frames (optional)
Fit cheats
Blazer: sleeves to wrist bone; show 0.5–1 cm of knit cuff.
Jeans: no stacking; hem just touching sneaker.
Tees/hoodie: shoulder seam sits right on shoulder edge; body skims, doesn’t cling.
What “Success” Looks Like (results you should expect)
Instant recognition (“the guy with the red sneakers that crushed the talk”).
Higher perceived authority (clean lines, premium textures, intentional nonconformity).
Effortless repeatability (one capsule → dozens of consistent, on-brand looks).
Shareable visuals (AI mockups become assets for your site, deck, and socials).
Could be all of that or… maybe it’s just a fun game and just that.
Anyway, here’s a challenge for you:
Open your wardrobe this week.
Ask ChatGPT: “Be my personal image consultant. Based on my job, lifestyle, and goals, what should I add (or remove) from my wardrobe?”
See what it suggests!!
You may be surprised at how much clarity comes from the outside (or in this case, from AI).
