AI flat lays and styling images
Most outfit visuals on Poise & Pearl are AI-generated. They illustrate a formula: the colors, proportions and types of pieces. They aren't photographs of specific garments, and they don't show real people. Our AI policy explains how they're made and reviewed.
What we never do
- Download photos from Instagram, Pinterest, other blogs or retailers' editorial shoots and republish them without permission
- Crop out watermarks or credits
- Present a stylist's or influencer's outfit photo as our own
If we ever want to feature another creator's image, we'll ask first or use an official embed, and credit them clearly.
