You need to sign up for Viglink or Skimlinks ASAP - the fact that you aren't using affiliate links is literally costing you. Those services are a single line of javascript which automatically affiliates any outgoing link, and they are perfect for sites like this where you can't waste time trying to maintain affiliate accounts with hundreds of advertisers. No offense to you, of course, but the fact that sites pop up o…

> Americans are relatively more rational ie. not so celeb-crazy ....Said nobody ever :)
True. That said, I have no idea who many of these guys are.
The main scalability issue with this is that the products you've found will quickly go out of stock, so as you build up a collection of outfits you'll face an increasing burden going back and checking all of the products to see if they're in stock (or risk damaging your brand). I worked on something similar back in 2008. We were looking at ways of monetising our visual similarity engine. We could mark a set of query…
Isn't that problem self-solving? Who wants to dress like a celebrity dressed last season- you want what they're wearing this season. Keep it up to date, with what's "in" now. Disclaimer: I know nothing about fashion.
Of course, all this assumes your site explodes and you help sell thousands of outfits per day; which sounds unlikely to programmers, but maybe not for the people who buy all those awful magazines that are more popular than Linux Voice.
Very nicely done. If you did this for Indian celebrities, VCs in India would throw eight figure sums to buy you out. As an immigrant, I'd say Americans are relatively more rational ie. not so celeb-crazy as to completely remodel themselves after a celebrity, though teens, especially teen girls tend to be an the outlier in this aspect. But if you look at celeb-crazy countries like India, you have grown men & women in…
In Italy (I bet more generally in EU) I see more the use case of knowing what a celebrity wears, but have a couple of alternatives to do a good match, without looking exactly the same... food for thoughts :) Great work btw!

If you're curating the products and links manually (as this site appears to be doing), then sign up to the 4 or 5 affiliate programs directly.
It's insane that anyone would give away 25%+ of their current revenue and future revenue to save a few minutes work.
Even if you are not curating links and are using user generated content... only use Viglink and Skimlinks as a stop-gap for you identifying your key revenue sources and going direct.

That could be an additional feature: allow users to comment on particular items so they can discuss where to pull off the same look for less.

Also South Korea and Japan are also more openly interested in fashion.

South Korea is much more flashy, celebrity-looking like fashion with huge sunglasses.
By the way, looking for feedback on design, content, functionality, and overall idea. Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks!
