We just launched yesterday and welcome feedback.

Kip works best in NYC right now – search is still VERY buggy :D The more you use it, the better our search gets!

You can also create looks with snaps, emojis, stickers, etc.

Is it just for clothes? How do you get the results?

We're starting with clothes and accessories – most people still prefer shopping offline for clothing.

We use image recognition and scrape items from social media, partner databases and crowdsourcing.

Also testing with Beta users to snap what they're wearing and let them tag semantically ("night out","office","summer wear", "goth").

Great. Really great. Promoting local shopping is probably the next big thing on the internet. I think what you're doing is very valuable.
