How to Generate Fabric Swatches with Copilot
Generate fabric swatches with Copilot and ToolRouter. Visualize material and colour variants across garment designs without waiting for physical samples.
Tool
Visualize fabric textures and swap materials across garment designs for presentations and material exploration. Copilot is useful when fabric visualization is part of a product development workflow that needs each variant documented and filed with the design record.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Fashion Studio tool:
- Upload the garment design and specify the material and colour variants required.
- Run `fabric_swatch` or `fabric_texture_swap` through `fashion-studio` for each option.
- Ask Copilot to document each variant with fabric name, description, and file reference.
- Add the fabric variants to the product development file for buyer or production review.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Fashion Studio tool
Use fashion-studio to generate fabric swatch visualizations for this dress design in 3 colour ways. Document each with the fabric name, colour reference, and filename and add to the design development file.
Tips
- Document the Pantone or colour code alongside each swatch visualization — it prevents ambiguity when briefing suppliers.
- Ask Copilot to note which variants require different construction techniques — a silk version of a cotton design may need different seam finishing.
- Keep all material variants in the same development file so the design history is complete when production decisions are made.
