The Web Toy.

Filed In Fashion by tongueinchic | Comments: 0 | Views: 199

This ‘toy’ is for anyone that loves to put things together, whether in color combinations, mix-and-match ensembles, or the need of an avenue to exercise their creative side. I present to you web toy Polyvore. It allows you to create outfits using real products saved from any online store by browsing thousands of looks by color or brand!

Polyvore, founded by Pasha Sadri (who created Yahoo Pipes) appeals to fashionistas from all around the globe. Users are inquired to install a bookmarklet and then grab images from around the web (tutorial available here) - this process is very similar to what Kaboodle does. They then take those images, plus any images others have uploaded, and create “sets” which are ensembles of individual items into a complete outfit. Examples:
