Vintage fashion is timeless, but generating it with AI can be messy. If you don’t specify the texture of a 1920s sequin or the stiffness of a 1950s petticoat, the result looks like a cheap costume.
To get viral, cinematic results, you need to prompt like a Time Traveler. You must describe the film look of that decade.
Below are 6 scientifically tuned prompts for Gemin that transport your subject through history. Each prompt includes a Face Lock to keep your identity consistent.
