What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform where users browse styles from celebrities and influencers, then shop the exact items or similar looks. Our product combines fashion media with e-commerce and a community focused on style influencers shaping culture globally.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Atlanta, GA, and the company is based here now. After YC, we plan to stay based in Atlanta while leveraging YC's resources.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Atlanta because it's home for the founders and an under-served market for fashion tech. Our focus is on building the product and community first rather than relocating for prestige.
