A Spanish startup launches AI tool to streamline fashion's creative engine
The company's founding team, Sarah Iglesias Hiller (CEO), Lucas Anton Pastur (CPO), and Matthias Brenninkmeijer (CTO) — bring experience from Mango's innovation lab, where they experimented with integrating AI into design workflows. The result is a modular platform that spans moodboards, sketches, virtual models, and production-ready tech packs, all within a single environment.
'It's not about replacing creativity,' Hiller says. 'It's about re-architecting the process so that creativity doesn't get lost in the margins.'
At the heart of the system is agentic AI, models that can anticipate user needs, generate visual alternatives, and suggest brand-aligned designs without prompting. Teams can showcase colourways, test garments on virtual models in motion, and export campaign-ready content in record time.
'We realised early on that most AI tools were not built for the way creative teams in fashion actually work,' Pastur explains. 'They were too generic, too rigid, or too technical. So we built Artiso to feel like a true extension of the creative process: visual, intuitive and easy to use.'
'The real breakthrough is not the AI itself but what it unlocks for creative teams,' adds Brenninkmeijer. 'Our platform fits naturally into your existing workflow, remembers your brand's style and adapts with every project.'
While many AI tools in fashion have focused on backend logistics or trend prediction, Artiso tackles the creative front line. According to McKinsey's State of Fashion Technology 2025 report, 68 percent of fashion executives expect to increase AI investment in design and product development this year, suggesting the timing is ripe.
The platform has already seen adoption in pilot projects with international fashion brands, reducing campaign production costs by up to 40 percent and drastically shortening feedback cycles.

Sports executive charged with bid rigging in Texas arena project
Oak View Group CEO Tim Leiweke was indicted on a federal criminal conspiracy charge related to allegedly rigging a bid to develop, manage, and operate the University of Texas ' basketball and entertainment arena in Austin, the Department of Justice said Wednesday. Oak View Group, which will pay $15 million in penalties in connection with the allegations, later Wednesday said that Leiweke 'will transition from the position of CEO to' vice chairman of the entertainment venue giant's board of directors, and remain a shareholder. Leiweke, 68, is accused in the indictment of conspiring with another would-be bidder on UT's $338 million Moody Center arena project to induce that second company in February 2018 to drop out of the competition with Oak View Group in exchange for receiving lucrative subcontracts at the 15,000-seat arena. CNBC has been told the second company was Legends Hospitality, a New York-based venue services company that is majority-owned by Sixth Street Partners, and whose minority owners include the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. The indictment in U.S. District Court in Austin says that Leiweke later reneged on that promise to the second company after it dropped its effort to bid on the entire project. 'The arena opened to the public in April 2022, and OVG continues to receive significant revenues from the project to date,' the Department of Justice said Wednesday. Leiweke 'rigged a bidding process to benefit his own company and deprived a public university and taxpayers of the benefits of competitive bidding,' said Assistant Attorney General Abigail Slater of the DOJ's Antitrust Division, in a statement. Leweike, in a 2022 interview with CNBC, said that the Moody Center was one of his company's 'two most successful arenas.' The DOJ also said Wednesday that Oak View Group and Legends agreed to pay $15 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in penalties 'in connection with the conduct alleged in the indictment against Leiweke.' Oak View Group's website says that the company manages 400 sports, entertainment and other venues. Lewieke, who is charged with one count of conspiracy to restrain trade, is the former CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. Before that, he served as CEO of Anschutz Entertainment Group. A spokesman for Leiweke, in a statement to CNBC, said, 'Mr. Leiweke has done nothing wrong and will vigorously defend himself and his well-deserved reputation for fairness and integrity.' 'The Antitrust Division's allegations are wrong on the law and the facts, and the case should never have been brought,' the spokesman said. 'The law is clear: vertical, complementary business partnerships, like the one contemplated between OVG and Legends, are legal.' 'These allegations blatantly ignore established legal precedent and seek to criminalize common teaming efforts that are proven to enhance competition and benefit the public. The Moody Center is a perfect example, as it has resulted in substantial and sustained benefits to the University of Texas and the City of Austin.' Leiweke, in his own statement, said, 'While I'm pleased the company has resolved its Department of Justice Antitrust Division inquiry without any charges filed or admission of wrongdoing, the last thing I want to do is distract from the accomplishments of the team or draw focus away from executing for our partners, so the Board and I decided that now is the right time to implement the succession plan that was already underway and transition out of the CEO role. Oak View Group, in a statement, said, 'Oak View Group cooperated fully with the Antitrust Division's inquiry and is pleased to have resolved this matter with no charges filed against OVG and no admission of fault or wrongdoing.' 'We support all efforts to ensure a fair and competitive environment in our industry and are committed to upholding industry-leading compliance and disclosure practices,' Oak View Group said. CNBC has requested comment from Legends. Chris Granger, who was president of Oak View Group's division OVG360, has been appointed as interim CEO of Oak View Group by the company's board. Granger previously was group president for sports and entertainment of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings, and president and chief operating officer of the Sacramento Kings.

Reason for Aberdeen bin collection delays REVEALED as city's incinerator struggles through ongoing issues
Ongoing issues at Aberdeen's incinerator have been blamed for missed or delayed bin collections. Aberdeen City Council this week issued an apology for missed and delayed bin pick-ups across the city. Refuse workers could not complete collections on all routes, leaving some residents with overflowing bins. Residents were told they would have to wait until their next scheduled collection day to have their waste taken away. The Press and Journal can now reveal the reason behind the disruption is down to the city's £150m waste centre experiencing ongoing issues. The plant's operator Indaver has cast doubt over its future involvement with the NESS project due to 'problems with operations'. Usually, non-recyclable waste from households is transported to the Energy from Waste (EfW) plant. The waste is then incinerated, which generates electricity. The Tullos-based plant was built under contract from Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray councils. The incinerator is equipped to handle 150,000 tonnes of combined waste from the three local authorities. Indaver operates the facility and ongoing issues at the plant have prompted a review of their involvement. A spokesperson said: 'Indaver can confirm that, due to ongoing issues the company is experiencing in relation to its operations at the NESS waste-to-energy facility in Aberdeen, Scotland, the company is reviewing its future involvement in the project.' It is unclear what would happen should Indaver decide to stop operations. Aberdeen City Council has had to make alternative arrangements for bin collections. The council said: 'We apologise that bin collections are currently being impacted by short-term operational challenges. 'We have had to put alternative tipping arrangements in place due to the temporary unavailability of the Ness Energy from Waste Facility. 'Contingency arrangements have led to some minor disruption to service, but the team are working tirelessly to mitigate any delay, and we thank people for their patience. Residents should continue to put their bins out as normal.' Moray Council says they have had to divert to other waste disposal locations. A spokesperson said: 'Our services remain unaffected by this issue, other than having to divert to alternative disposal locations which have been sourced.' An Aberdeenshire Council spokesperson said: 'We are aware of the current issues at the plant. 'We have worked with colleagues at Aberdeen City and Moray councils to ensure that there is no disruption to our household residual waste collections by ensuring alternative disposal arrangements are in place.'

Christian Horner tearful as he announced his Red Bull sacking to staff
Christian Horner was reduced to tears when he announced to his Red Bull staff that his two-decade spell as team principal had been terminated. The 51-year-old was effectively sacked from his role by the British-based Formula One team's parent company, Red Bull GmbH, on Tuesday. Horner travelled to the team's Milton Keynes factory on Wednesday to deliver the bombshell news to a stunned 1,500-strong workforce at 10am. The PA news agency understands that Horner broke down as he informed the hundreds inside a room which showcases the Red Bull cars which have won 14 world championships, as well as many more on a Microsoft Teams call, that he would be leaving with immediate effect. In a clip of Horner's speech obtained by Sky Sports News, he said: 'The decision came as a shock to myself. I have had a chance to reflect over the last 12 hours and I wanted to stand in front of all of you to break this news and just express my gratitude to each and every single member of the team that has given so much during the 20 and a half years that I have been here. PA Media Horner gave an emotional address to Red Bull staff. 'When I arrived 20 years ago, with a few less grey hairs, I walked into a team and I didn't know what to expect but I was immediately welcomed. 'We then started to build what became a powerhouse in Formula One. Watching and being part of this team has been the biggest privilege in my life.' An unplanned pause followed as Horner's voice broke before a round of applause followed. Within minutes of his emotional address, Red Bull GmbH released the news to the world that Horner's time, which began with the team's inception in 2005, was up. Their statement read: 'Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today (Wednesday 9 July 2025) and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.' Red Bull Group CEO Oliver Mintzlaff said: 'We would like to thank Christian Horner for his exceptional work over the last 20 years. 'With his tireless commitment, experience, expertise and innovative thinking, he has been instrumental in establishing Red Bull Racing as one of the most successful and attractive teams in Formula One. 'Thank you for everything, Christian, and you will forever remain an important part of our team history.' Horner drove away from Red Bull's Milton Keynes campus shortly before 1130am. His dramatic departure comes 17 months after he was accused of 'inappropriate behaviour' by a female colleague. PA Media Max Verstappen (right) celebrates alongside Horner after winning his first world title in December 2021 At last year's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, Horner was cleared of wrongdoing following an internal investigation, only for hundreds of WhatsApp messages – appearing to be exchanged between Horner and the complainant – to then be leaked to the F1 world. Horner, who is married to former Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell, managed to keep the Red Bull hierarchy onside and fought on. He always denied the claims and was exonerated for a second time of controlling behaviour by an independent KC last August. But he lost a number of key allies along the way, with design guru Adrian Newey, chief designer Rob Marshall and sporting director Jonathan Wheatley all departing. Max Verstappen won a fourth consecutive world championship last year but he has been hesitant to confirm whether he will see out the remainder of his deal which runs until 2028. His father, Jos, is a fierce critic of Horner's and claimed in Bahrain last year that Red Bull would 'explode' if Horner remained in his post. Horner was subjected to boos at F1's season launch in London in February and McLaren CEO Zak Brown said in an interview with the PA news agency the following month that he would feel 'vulnerable' if he were in Horner's shoes. It is believed that a culmination of Horner's reputation, Red Bull's slump in form – Verstappen has won only four of the last 26 races staged – and continued questions about the Dutchman's future, have all led to the belief that a clean slate was required. Although Verstappen's team-mate Yuki Tsunoda was at Red Bull HQ on Wednesday, Verstappen was not. PA Media Christian Horner and his wife Geri at last year's Bahrain Grand Prix. Verstappen later posted a picture of himself embracing Horner in the wake of winning his fourth title in Las Vegas last November. Verstappen wrote: 'From my first race win, to four world championships, we have shared incredible successes. Winning memorable races and breaking countless record. Thank you for everything, Christian.' Horner had been the longest-serving boss in F, and will be remembered as one of its most decorated team principals. Red Bull won their first world championship in 2010, with Sebastian Vettel taking four consecutive titles. Following a period of dominance by Mercedes, Horner oversaw Red Bull's rise to the top again. In 2023, Red Bull won 21 of the 22 races staged, with Verstappen setting a new record for 10 consecutive victories. However, Verstappen has already ruled himself out of this season's race. He secured pole position at the recent British Grand Prix – Horner's final race in charge – but finished only fifth. He is 69 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri at the midway stage of the 24-round season, with Red Bull a distant fourth in the constructors' standings.
