Does Moire include the features The New Black has?

Try-on (via Seedream), tech packs (via GPT Image), AI fashion models (across all engines), and 3D garment direction — yes. Video, lookbook layout, editorial film, social cuts — also yes, which The New Black does not natively include.

The New Black starts at around $8/month basic. Moire has a free tier with no signup required to test, then paid tiers above that for higher-resolution and video. For pure cost comparison, Moire is cheaper to start with; The New Black is competitive at the entry paid tier.

Moire vs The New Black — two fashion design apps, two approaches

Moire and The New Black are both fashion design apps for independent designers. They differ on engine choice (multi-engine vs in-house), video output (built-in vs not), and pricing model.

TL;DR — Both are fashion design apps. The New Black runs on its own in-house image model in a single workspace. Moire is multi-engine — same designer workflow, with the choice of routing through Nano Banana, Flux, GPT Image, Imagen, Recraft, Seedream, plus Veo, Kling, Runway, Seedance for video. Pick by what you're making.

What is The New Black?

The New Black · Current as of 2026

The New Black is a fashion design platform with an in-house image model. The workspace covers text/sketch/reference to image, virtual try-on, AI fashion models, tech pack generation, and 3D garments. The platform reports 500,000+ designers and brands. Pricing starts at around $8/month for basic plans.

Where The New Black excels

Single workspace covers most early-stage design output — image, try-on, tech pack — without leaving the app.
Established base of 500K+ designers and brands. Real product validation.
Accessible entry pricing ($8/month basic) for independent designers.

Where it falls short for fashion

Single in-house image model. No choice of engine per stage — what you get is what their model produces.
No native video. Editorial film, runway walk, social cuts all live outside the workspace.
Workflow is feature-shaped, not stage-shaped. The 7 stages of building a collection (brief through brand) are not the navigation.

How Moire fixes this

Moire is built around the 7 stages of a collection — brief, design, development, editorial, campaign, distribution, brand. The image engine is a choice per stage: Nano Banana for editorial photography, Flux for multi-reference spreads, GPT Image for tech packs, Imagen for photoreal, Recraft for brand-consistent illustration, Seedream for try-on. Video is built in: Veo, Kling, Runway, Seedance for film and social cuts. Same designer-app category as The New Black; different bet on workflow shape.
