Style Me App
Joyce Y
Style Me is a concept app designed to help track of what type of clothes are in our closets and using AI, it uses deep learning to detect clothes that are similar on the internet or in our closets.
Overview:
Project: concept mobile app
Duration: 1 week
Role: UX designer, UX researcher
After I observed my friends’ overfilled closets with clothes they haven’t worn since high school, but continue to want to buy more clothes to recreate trendy outfits they’ve seen on Pinterest, I thought an app should be able to help keep track of what’s in our closet. In the future, it is possible to help with overconsumption and reduce fast fashion.
SO, WHAT'S THE ISSUE?
Young adults in their 20s buy clothes and forget what is in their closets, resulting in forgotten clothing items.
HOW CAN WE SOLVE IT?
Creating an app designed to help keep track of what clothes are in our closets and using AI can help us generate something similar to what we see on the streets, on social media, and on our friends.
WHY DO WE NEED IT?
When users find something they’d like to recreate an outfit from a TV show or in real life, they can upload a picture to the app. Then, AI will search for similar results in users’ closets and show something identical to the stores where they shop.
When the users buy clothes online, they can copy them to the app and will automatically be added to the app's closet.
WHAT ARE SOME KEY TAKEAWAYS?
Style Me is an app that will be able to help young adults choose outfits at the tip of their fingers, without the piles of clothes all around. When they find something they like but are unsure if they have it in their closet, they can take a picture and upload it to the app and AI will be able to give the options in their closet.
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE?
If I were to re-design the Style Me app, I would try to refocus the app to help with overconsumption in the fashion industry. According to online research, fast fashion generates more CO2 than aviation and shipping combined (Mulhern, 2022). So, instead of showing the shop option when an image is uploaded, I’d want the app to reiterate how to be creative and choose the clothing items that are already in our closets to recreate the outfit.
