Elevator Pitch

StyleLabz is a mobile application designed to deliver personalized stylistic recommendations to customers. This is done by utilizing the swiping mechanic found in many mobile dating apps to give customers a quick and easy way to show which clothes they prefer and which clothes they would rather not wear.

Pitch

The Problem

  • Buying vs. Wearing Clothes
  • Clothing sales up ~60% since 2000
  • Clothes are only worn ~7 times before discarded

  • Emphasizes cheap materials
  • Not sustainably sourced
  • Promotes disposable clothing

  • Recommendation Engine for Clothing Articles and Outfits
  • Swipe-based Clothing Selection
  • Same mechanism as Tinder etc.
