Online hyper local personal styling community marketplace for personal and interior styling needs
Feb 2015 - Dec 2015
Our main challenge is to create such a platform where fashion stylists, merchants and buyers can connect with each other.
This helps stylists to find more clients, merchants to sell products and buyers to buy the items they want.
We launched our MVP in end of 2014. We are now receiving feedback from users about the product. One of the common feedback received is that product still misses the engagement factor between the stylist, designer and users. Also stylists are not getting enough exposure what they actually want. Moreover users also have a few ways to connect with the stylists. We thought over this :
We start talking to some of the designers; who are using the product. We listen to them and start thinking in this direction.
After several conversations, feedbacks and thoughts; we try to find a solution for this. We called it as "Styleme".
Our Very first Draft look like this:
Once we settle down on something; it’s time to make it in real. Some of the early explorations of this concept looks like this:
There are basically 2 views of the Style me requests.
Once users post requests, all the requests shows up. Its like a community where anybody can see any request and act upon it. Anybody can post his/her requests.
In this view the request is shown in extended format with all the required details. All the responses, comments and shows listed here. Users can directly connect with the stylists/designers.
The major change we did in the current version is the UI enhancement. All the screens designed from ground up. More focus is given on crisp and clear look, simple and easy to use interactions and more tools for to get their job done. Apart from revamp; we also added a few more sections like:
We have taken the card based approach to display the majority of the information. We have used it for stylist request, look, portfolio, product and favorites.
Users land on this page upon signin. All the recent requests appears here. Users can respond them to get started.
This is stylists home. It may also be seen as dashboard. All his activities are listed here. Its the snapshot of all his actions.
Users can select products from different categories listed. Drag and drop products to create the desired look or arrange the products as needed.
Card based looks page. All the created looks appears here. Clicking on any of the image goes to the detail view of that product.
Stylists can showcase their previous work/projects here. They can just add a few images and a small description of that and the portfolio is ready !
