It's possible, and I imagine would be a very cool feature for a shopping app!

We went to the B2B path after launching Style Space (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/style-space/id1535818149) and realize we don't know how to run e-commerce haha. Might revisit the shopping app / marketplace idea once we have more validation and tractions.

Apologies for the late reply. I downloaded Style Space yesterday after you mentioned here, and the main problem really just was not being able to import my own photos.

A consumer play might be super interesting here; let users import their own photos, make their own outfits, share it with their friends, and add referral/affiliate links on the way to checkout. I work on consumer tech, so email's in my profile if you want to chat more.

Curation is becoming a big part of the next wave of online influence and you have a very unique opportunity to capitalize on that.

Frankly, I think it's just very hard to get the kind of effect you're imagining. https://www.formatech.com I know this company that does what you want, but I don't think their rendering is close to what you're imagining. We recognize it's difficulty, so want to start with a more constrained case, maybe will eventually get there :)

Ah yea, I didn't mean importing yourself as a model. Just a digital wardrobe of sorts with the model being a default like you have in Style Space.
