Shein Used Luigi Mangione’s AI-Generated Face to Sell a Shirt | United Healthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione is not, in fact, modeling floral button-downs for Shein.


United Healthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione is not, in fact, modeling floral button-downs for Shein.

Mangione—the prime suspect in the December 2024 murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson—is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, last I checked, and is not modeling for Shein. AI models in fashion are becoming more mainstream; in July, Vogue ran advertisements for Guess featuring AI-generated women selling the brand’s summer collection. Last year, artists sued Shein, alleging the Chinese e-commerce giant scraped the internet using AI and stole their designs, and it’s been well-documented that fast fashion sites use bots to identify popular themes and memes from social media to put them on their own listings.
