Founder

Lior is a worldwide IMG Model and founder of ARI. She was scouted to model off the street in NYC and shot a Vogue Runway look-book on the spot. After opening the Proenza Schouler runway show for her fashion week debut, she took the semester off of her computer science studies at Cornell University to model in Milan and Paris. During her semester off, she built an AI chatbot project with a chat interface before chatGPT out of boredom, which blew up landing features in BBC, Vogue, and others. This press associated Lior with my technical background while modeling, sparking conversations between Lior and fashion industry leaders while backstage at photoshoots and runway shows. This inspired Lior to build ARI: and AI personal stylist and virtual fashion model.
