Hot take: You need a woman to design this website. None of it screams fashion. When I think fashion, I think instagram influencer not "Omnichannel Personalization."

Your killer app could be a simple FB quiz. People give you their FB/insta and you spit out what looks that they'd think are wicked sick. Ideally culled from Instagram.

This web page sounds like nerds talking about fashion rather than fashionistas. I'm fairly sure that the Kardashians can't spell ontology.

Edit: Also why isn't this app hooking into the hauling subculture? This would totes perfect for folks and YTers planning hauls.

I would say they need someone with real marketing experience. Someone who can define a target market and write for that person.

I could be the target market here. I have a desire to look good for work and casual situations but absolutely no fashion sense. I hang out on HN. ML powered fashion sounds great! But then I go on their website and it looks like it's for 13 year olds who can read at a college professor level.

Yup! I'm their target audience too, and they lost me at the headline.

That’s... definitely sexist

It’s also right. Just replace woman with something appropriate.

I'm even a nerd who consulted a dictionary regarding "ontology", and I can't figure out what they're talking about.

It may be popular to hate on the Kardashians, but this kind of personal attack is really in poor taste.
