I found some shoes to buy from your site, great job! This also works for interior design, most people just want to find out where to buy the items they are looking at. Houzz is starting to do this, but on a limited basis.

#62I wonder how they know what socks the celebrities were wearing? They are nice socks, I just can't see them in the actual photos.

I don't mean to derail these comments further from the OP, but I'm glad you brought this up. I really wish Houzz would find a way to make money off product placements and start pumping it. 99% of the time when I see a room of interest the first question I have is "what is that?" (material/colour/brand) and "where can I find it?".

#67I love this idea!
I don't think you need to use celebrities at all. If you had well dressed men with different styles with links to the stores where one can purchase the items, I think men will like it more. I don't think a lot of men feel comfortable with "dressing like a celebrity" but most don't mind getting ideas for a wardrobe. It will also solve the issue of rights infringements.
The only thing I didn't like is the links to the socks that are not visible in the picture.

#68Hmm... love the idea, and it'll probably make money, but the problem with anything like this (even magazine ads) is that cut is paramount and people come in different shapes and sizes. Clothes fitting properly matters much more than what they look like on the rack, and more often than not, cuts at discount stores are either atrocious, or they are designed for fit models (those lucky jerks). I can go to uniqlo, i can…
If Uniqlo fits you well, try any of the Mossimo shirts at Target, v-necks or crew necks. Cheap and good enough quality. (Gleaned that from /r/malefashionadvice.)
Otherwise, for the shirts and pants that almost fit, find yourself a good tailor and have them adjusted to your body. It's not expensive at all for basic adjustments.

Also, please find some less perfect celebrities. I can go on reddit's male fashion advice and find things that fit skinny people all day, and I can even find things to make Chris Farley look good (because there are only two sizes on MFA, skinny and fucking huge), but try to find fashion advice for a Zack Galifianakis. Doesn't exist.
When you're skinny, it's not hard to look good or copy styles. Little more difficult when you have a few pounds.
Re: Show HN: Famous Outfits
#70If you made this as a commercial venture you are probably infringing on these celebrities personality rights.
He/she is also infringing on IP rights. For example they are photoshopping out the model from Amazon and Lord and Taylor product pages and reusing those images without permission. Even though it's not for profit as soon as it gets large enough for those companies to notice the creator can expect a cease and desist letter.
He's linking to the products... why would they send a cease and desist to a website sending them targeted leads?
