Olsen has also been testing out Jux , another basic mood board app that lets you upload images to a simple square grid. A number of Polyvore users wrote in to suggest ShopLook , a startup that launched a little less than a year ago. Though founder and CEO Laya Adib says Polyvore was the inspiration for ShopLook, its original mission was to create an AI stylist that would give style recommendations based on a picture of any clothing item — and that AI stylist would be trained by the Polyvore-like mood boards users could make on the site.
Almost immediately after Polyvore shut down, ShopLook saw an opening in the market and put out a PSA to former users saying it would start adding features to make it more like the defunct site: the ability to follow other users, comment on outfits, direct-message people, add a wider range of products, and download sets from Polyvore. Nothing compares to Polyvore for now.
Indeed, a number of people wrote in to say that they had no intention of starting over on a new creative platform. Many of them lamented the loss of a favorite creative outlet and a place to discover new products and brands. One user, Lauren Coates, started a petition to reinstate Polyvore, which has gotten more than 4, of its target 5, signatures so far.
Years of work, friends, blogposts are gone. It's not only a disgusting way to treat Millions of users all around the World but a communicational suicide. Why did Ssense acquire Polyvore? For its user list, most obviously. Neither Ssense nor Oath responded immediately to requests for comment. Jux is different from other options on this list.
If you like the mood board side of these apps and want to curate aesthetic posts and not clothes, try Jux. Create stunning and customized mood boards with various grid and media options in the most practical and efficient way.
This app lends itself to the Instagram trend of aesthetic posts. Users can choose any photos from fashion to architecture and pair them with text, color blocks, and chic layouts. This is great for expressing an artistic idea or vibe visually. You can search Google images and Unsplash royalty free photos to create these.
GlamOutfit is another fashion-focused app. The app uses techniques that professional stylists use to make the most of your closet and create outfits that flatter your body type and fit your lifestyle. Outfit ideas are recommended to you based on the clothes you already own. This app is less making inspiration boards and based more on what you already own — perfect for those who want real-life fashion tips. The app also featured a fashion calendar, allowing you to plan what to wear wherever you are.
You can save these outfits to your personal look book for later on! There are options to share these looks with friends via Facebook or Twitter to let everyone know how great you look, be confident with your style! Chicvore was created as an alternative to fill the Polyvore void. However, Chicvore promises to secure your designs and contributions forever! We consume all fashion. However, for now, Chicvore stays an invite-only service. The website asks for your email, and there is a wait to get in.
If you have been on the site for a while, you are allowed to invite your friends, and then they can invite their friends… and so on. Bantoa aims to provide outfit inspiration; this is different from others on the list as they allow you to create your own looks.
We lost the ability to create with our beloved Polyvore. It was a place where we could bond with fellow users. We gained inspiration from each other throughout the community. This and the ability to foster our own connection to all things virtually artistic. These could be used as guides whenever shopping.
I spent 48 hours in complete silence and mourning. I cried for the first five hours, as if I lost my best friend. But to be honest, Polyvore was like my best friend without the gossip and backstabbing. But that bitch definitely betrayed and blocked me without warning. No one used Polyvore to shop. Stylists, fashion students, style fans, interior designers, and other operators of art utilized Polyvore to create.
They could have engaged the PolyFam and new users into the right direction, of continuing the fashion creation with ease. I have been on a mission to find my replacement, my new home… From our research, we have found these three Polyvore alternatives. Below are MY top three platforms, both online and app version. Pros: Once mastered, the app is a pretty amazing tool to create outfits to showcase on a social media platform or blog.
Just outfit planning only. Much like a wardrobe planner what it actually is , the app allows its users to plan their daily wardrobe, categorize the wardrobe based on item specifics, and essentially create their outfits with ease.
In the wake of the Polyvore madness, I was introduced to SmartCloset through a mutual friend. He and I have similar platforms on Instagram. We knew that a long delay from posting could in fact result in the loss of followers and momentum. These elements gave the mood board personality, ownership, and a distinctive look. SmartCloset is strictly for creating outfits and planning it out by the week. Pinterest is LIFE and has kept a record of all of my favorite items to use in the mood boards from Polyvore.
Cons: Needs about 6 months — 1 year of development to get on the level of Polyvore or better. Anyone who owned a Polyvore account within the last 10 years recognized the growth, elevation, need, and perfection of the app.
This includes its uniqueness. Nothing on the market was like it. What are those factors? Giving user the space to create in comfort and convenience is what set Polyvore apart from other apps. Clipping is simply a method of taking an image from a third-party site and adding that image to your online catalog or collection of items to use, in creating outfits.
For people like myself to create outfits using items we want to use, Fashmates will see an extreme rise in population. For me, this particular factor was never important. However, for the sake of fellowship, building relationships, and following like minded users, Fashmates is definitely encouraging users to create that family vibe that Polyvore once had. I love that about this app because people used Polyvore for so many reasons. Even though my reason was strictly business, for others it was a safe haven.
Polyvore created an opportunity to create and share ideas. The amount of influence I had within the app scored me a free trip to New York back in ! I was able to meet the then editor of Lucky Magazine and get free footwear from Dolce Vita. Well, not for Polyvore. Essentially, I made the decision to email Polyvore directly, letting them know that I would no longer publish any mood boards from my profile which over time did not add to my audience of 11k followers or 11 million views.
