PVH Transforms Fashion with ChatGPT Enterprise Innovation
PVH Corp. announced it will adopt ChatGPT Enterprise from OpenAI across its global organization to support design, planning, supply chain and consumer engagement. The company said it will place OpenAI "frontier models" throughout its value chain to enable product and design insights, smarter forecasting, inventory optimization and more personalized marketing. PVH named Stefan Larsson (Chief Executive Officer) in a quoted statement describing the move as part of its PVH+ growth plan. PVH said it selected OpenAI based on security, privacy and governance criteria and intends to build custom AI capabilities that combine OpenAI models with PVH’s fashion, merchandising and supply‑chain expertise. OpenAI’s Chief Commercial Officer Giancarlo ‘GC’ Lionetti is quoted praising PVH’s deployment. The collaboration is positioned as an enterprise-scale AI integration to accelerate data-driven decision making and operational agility across PVH’s brands including Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER.
Major consumer brand (PVH) adopting OpenAI enterprise models signals broader enterprise uptake of AI for marketing, supply‑chain and product workflows; relevant to MarTech/platform adoption but not an industry-shifting platform policy change.

OpenAI Expands ChatGPT for Visual Product Discovery
OpenAI’s ChatGPT is pivoting its commerce approach by removing the Instant Checkout feature and shifting focus to product discovery. Instant Checkout, launched in September with support from Walmart, Shopify, Etsy and PayPal, allowed purchases inside ChatGPT but was retired after limited adoption and concerns about flexibility. Going forward, ChatGPT will let merchants control the buying flow: retailers can route checkouts to their own websites or operate a retailer-controlled app inside ChatGPT. OpenAI said the initial Instant Checkout lacked the level of flexibility desired and that the platform will concentrate on visual product discovery (images, prices, features, reviews) while supporting multiple checkout paths. The change was announced via an OpenAI blog post and represents a strategic refocus of ChatGPT’s commerce capabilities.

Target is already using ChatGPT Enterprise across its headquarters with 18,000 employees and employs several AI tools—Agent Assist, Store Companion, Shopping Assistant, Gift Finder, Guest Assist, and JOY (trained on 3,000+ FAQs)—to improve supply chain forecasting, store processes, and personalized digital experiences. OpenAI notes Target joins over 1 million business customers using its models. The partnership positions AI as a core part of Target’s operations and guest experience strategy.
