The gist of the app is building a community around fashion that fits an individual's style. Understandably, there are similar applications that have launched recently, but we feel that ours is distinct enough to still have a valuable place in the fashion ecosystem. The biggest difference from ours and sites such as Pose, Fashism, Tryiton, Lookbook, etc. is that we want to capture a lot of the forum based discussions and create a community out of them. The existing sites tend to skew heavily female (to the point where the design often alienates men) and don't facilitate much in the way of a community, or they really only cater to fashionistas and cause 'regular people' to not feel especially comfortable posting pictures of themselves.

Ultimately, we want to build a site that feels comfortable for people who aren't especially fashionable (such as ourselves!) to want to share outfits and create discussions around them.

Given the recent state of online outfit/fashion sharing sites, is this something you feel is valuable to continue pursuing? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
