Hey everyone, today I’m diving into something I’ve been messing around with – trying to recreate that iconic VS models 2000s look using, well, some modern tech. It’s been a trip down memory lane, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it’d be!
Getting Started: The Idea
So, the whole thing started because I was feeling nostalgic. You know, flipping through old magazines, and there they were – the VS Angels. I was like, “I wonder if I can bring that vibe back, maybe with some AI stuff?” It seemed like a fun little project.
The First Steps: Gathering References
First things first, I needed pictures. Lots of them. I spent hours, seriously, HOURS, scouring the internet for high-quality photos of the VS models from the 2000s. Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, Tyra Banks – you name it, I was hunting for their pics. I wanted runway shots, close-ups, everything. I needed to really see the details, you know?
The Tools: Picking the Right AI
Okay, so I had my inspiration, now I needed the tools. I played around with a few different AI image generators. This part took a while because, honestly, a lot of them were kind of… meh. The images were either too blurry, or the faces looked weird, or they just didn’t capture that 2000s aesthetic.
The Process: Trial and Error (Lots of Error!)
Then came the fun part – actually generating the images. This was a whole process of trial and error. I’d put in my prompts, tweak the settings, cross my fingers, and… well, most of the time, it wasn’t pretty. I got some really bizarre results. Like, models with three arms, distorted faces, backgrounds that looked like they were from another planet – it was a mess!
- Prompting Nightmares: Getting the AI to understand what I meant by “2000s VS model” was harder than it sounds. I had to be super specific.
- Style Struggles: The AI kept wanting to make things look too modern, too polished. I had to keep reminding it, “No, I want that early 2000s glow, that slightly grainy, almost overexposed look!”
- Facial Features: Oh boy, the faces. This was the biggest hurdle. AI sometimes struggles with faces, and getting those iconic VS model looks just right took a LOT of tweaking.
Keep the model looking like the ones I want.
It should be a whole process to get the face looking good.
Breakthroughs and Small Victories
But, slowly, I started to get the hang of it. I figured out which keywords worked best, which settings to adjust, and which AI generator gave me the closest results to what I was envisioning. It was like learning a new language, really. I even started keeping a little notebook to track my progress, like a mad scientist or something!
The Final Results (Almost!)
I’m still not totally there, but I’ve got some images I’m pretty happy with. They’re not perfect replicas, but they definitely have that 2000s VS vibe. It’s been a fun experiment, and it’s made me appreciate how much work went into those original photoshoots. The lighting, the styling, the models themselves – it’s a whole art form.
So, that’s my little adventure in AI and nostalgia. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m definitely going to keep playing around with this. Maybe I’ll even try recreating some other iconic looks from the past. Who knows! If you have some suggestions, you can give me.
