The rising diversity, volume, and pace of fashion manufacturing pose a considerable challenge in the fashion industry, making it difficult for customers to pick which product to purchase. In addition, fashion is an inherently subjective, cultural notion and an ensemble of clothing items that maintains a coherent style. In most of the domains in which Recommender Systems are developed (e.g., movies, e-commerce, etc.), the similarity evaluation is considered for recommendation. Instead, in the Fashion domain, compatibility is a critical factor. In addition, raw visual features belonging to product representations that contribute to most of the algorithm’s performances in the Fashion domain are distinguishable from the metadata of the products in other domains. This literature review summarizes various Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques that have lately been used in recommender systems for the fashion industry. AI enables higher-quality recommendations than earlier approaches. This has ushered in a new age for recommender systems, allowing for deeper insights into user-item relationships and representations and the discovery patterns in demographical, textual, virtual, and contextual data. This work seeks to give a deeper understanding of the fashion recommender system domain by performing a comprehensive literature study of research on this topic in the past 10 years, focusing on image-based fashion recommender systems taking AI improvements into account. The nuanced conceptions of this domain and their relevance have been developed to justify fashion domain-specific characteristics.
