Clean design and good execution.
From 3 comments
This is amazing and I've wanted this for awhile but didn't know where to find it. Great execution, keep on trucking and it'll do very well.
josephjrobison on HNThis looks pretty neat and you did a great job with your Pin It buttons. You may wish to consider adding this META: <meta name="pinterest" content="nohover"></meta> ... to the…
kentbrew on HNGreat looking site. Funnily enough, asos.com, which is something like the third biggest UK Internet company now (according to some slightly dubious stats that were posted here a…

Useful for finding where to buy items.
From 2 comments
I found some shoes to buy from your site, great job! This also works for interior design, most people just want to find out where to buy the items they are looking at. Houzz is…
jasondc on HNThis is really good...I like the concept. I hate shopping online for single items online and i do find myself 'borrowing' from the style of others. Packaging up all items for…

Objections
Linked products often do not match the pictured items.
From 3 comments
Looks like a cool idea, I'm not sure how accurate the products you link to are to whats pictured though. I would work on making that more accurate.
math0ne on HNThis is a great idea. I would be careful going too cheap on the recommended pieces. For example, on the Theo James, there is no way I would buy a Haynes T-shirt. If super-cheap…
orasis on HNNice. Of course the obvious criticism (to me at least) is that the exacts products are not the same even, though the overall look is, eg David Beckham's shirt or JT's cardigan.…

Photo licensing and personality rights may infringe.
From 3 comments
If you made this as a commercial venture you are probably infringing on these celebrities personality rights.
rootedbox on HNGreat-looking site, but did you license the images used? Celebrity photogs won't take kindly to usage without permission. I've even heard of blogs being sued for similar.
Clanan on HNHow are you handling photo rights/licensing?

Cheap clothing is low quality and wasteful.

Well done and congrats on launching. But I hate that it's all about promoting cheap consumer goods that were made in a Chinese sweatshop and are half way to their final…

Requests
Add affiliate links.
From 2 comments
You need to sign up for Viglink or Skimlinks ASAP - the fact that you aren't using affiliate links is literally costing you. Those services are a single line of javascript which…
jasongill on HNVery nice! I just placed an order on the watch that Daniel Craig wears [1] (not because he wears them, just because I like them) and noticed that there is no affiliate code in…

Let users buy the whole outfit in one checkout.
From 1 comment
It would be a much better customer experience if you could buy the entire outfit in one action -- add outfit to cart, checkout, done -- instead of going to each product's…

Include non-celebrity and more varied body types.
From 2 comments
Suggestions from Mrs Browl - great, but do the same for celebrities of different ethnicities and sizes. There are plenty of guys who are shaped like Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, John…
anigbrowl on HNI love this idea! I don't think you need to use celebrities at all. If you had well dressed men with different styles with links to the stores where one can purchase the items, I…

ASOS (As Seen On Screen)

bshimmin on HNIsn't this how ASOS [1] started? It used to be called "As Seen on Screen" and you used to be able to buy, say, the same baseball cap as David Beckham or the leather jacket that…

Lookbook and Pinchthelook
From 2 comments
Nice execution. We had a similar idea called http://www.pinchthelook.com but for women. The feedback was great and people 'loved' the site but ultimately we couldn't get to a…
ralphos on HNThanks for commenting! We think what we're offering is unique to lookbook. Lookbook is almost all women (and almost everything similar to this concept is too) and a small…
