#2As someone who loves fashion and clothing, I wanted a place (that wasn't a marketplace for once) where I could look at clothes and keep track of stuff that I wanted and owned. The big dream is to have any piece of clothing that exists in the database. Feel free to submit items!

With user submitted (basically my friends and I so far) clothing info and images from other websites. Also an initial webscrape helped us with some initial DB population.

Pretty much, except from my experience Pinterest focuses on the image and maybe its source rather than the actual item of clothing and features of that item.

#7This is really cool! I'd love to see this become mainstream with second-hand and slow fashion communities :)
Like where people could remix looks and then publish them, a bit like polyvore was once a long time ago.

I imagine it has to do with second hand clothing stores/goodwill, but I could be wrong.
