- Polyvore is a perfect example of : Fashion by the people and Fashion for the people. Their platform helps creative minds make sets and shop at the same time.
- As a consumer, what drives me to spend more time on Polyvore is the community made sets. It is one platform where you don’t just shop for an item but think of creative ways to make that item work in different looks. This helps me buy items with a longer life cycle in my wardrobe.
- Polyvore heavily makes use of “Style graph”. If you have not heard of Style graph well that is a kind of algorithm Polyvore uses to recommend you items based on your taste. Personally, this has been very useful for me and has helped me broaden my shopping horizons.
- They have expanded into new verticals such as — Home Decor, Beauty and plus size as well. This shows how Polyvore reads the market and base their growth on it. I cannot wait for more verticals to be added and to explore more.
- One of my favorite parts about Polyvore is #Polydata , it is a great way to see top 10 trends. I love data and fashion and this seems like a perfect marriage of the two. I had the privilege to meet the CEO and team behind Polyvore as well and I was really impressed by the company culture. All in all Polyvore is a must try if you have not done so yet.
