This is really good...I like the concept. I hate shopping online for single items online and i do find myself 'borrowing' from the style of others. Packaging up all items for delivery is great. Having people upload their own style and having your site do the same with their picture would be pretty awesome.
How are you handling photo rights/licensing?

>Of course the obvious criticism (to me at least) is that the exacts products are not the same even, though the overall look is This is actually the strength. If they served customers the exact clothing celebrities are wearing it wouldn't be terribly actionable...the cost would be prohibitive.
Yeah, but many people won't want to look like a celeb.. they may just like a shirt (rather than purchase an entire outfit.) Then I'd have cheaper alternatives listed. In fact, there would be many alternatives to many of those products, but let's start with the real one (ideally). There could even be a cost-calculator to work out some combination of items for some overall price-range.. some legitimate, some alternativ…
I think "Show me a celeb I want to look like and let me do it" has the best chance of working for many reasons. The message is clear, and the goal is easy to understand and attainable given the customer's resources (both attention and monetary).
I'd guess that it's better to start simple and slowly add these complex features carefully as the audience grows.
I made something similar to this but more DIY -- not curated outfits worn by celebs, but outfits designed and shared by you. http://www.assembl.co

Looks like a cool idea, I'm not sure how accurate the products you link to are to whats pictured though. I would work on making that more accurate.
Sorry to interrupt the party, but LookBook was already doing it at least 3 years ago - that I remember: http://lookbook.nu/look/6605676-Sheinside-Bet-Printed-Choies... Also, if you liked that site + you would like to do money with it, check out http://www.seedtag.com/ it's like the big brother idea of that site. I see an incredible potential on it.
My roommate works at RewardStyle, you should look into their platform for monetization. It's pretty awesome.

Every bit of that complexity comes with an increasingly high cost though. You start adding more messaging, cost calculators, starting points that aren't actionable by most of your customers, forums etc., and you can quickly damage your value prop.

"show me a great piece of clothing as exactly worn by a celeb, then let me buy it"
