Meta quietly launches an AI fashion app called Style Sketch
The app connects to Instagram to build a virtual closet from photos you’ve already shared, or lets you add items manually by snapping a photo, recording a quick video, or uploading images from your camera roll.
Meta recently introduced Style Sketch, an AI-powered fashion app designed to assist users in creating outfit ideas using garments they already possess. Users can integrate their Instagram photos into a virtual closet or manually input items via photos, videos, or camera roll uploads. The app proposes outfit combinations tailored to the user's style, utilizing a "realistic model matched to your body shape and skin tone."
Style Sketch is presently accessible on iOS and Android devices in Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, though Meta has not confirmed broader rollouts. Several competitors employ AI to digitize wardrobes and envision new looks, such as Alta and Google Photos' photo-to-digital-closet feature. To distinguish itself from existing alternatives, Meta will leverage Style Sketch's robust Instagram integration, allowing users to leverage their visual style records.
Users can also input specific wardrobe items to receive personalized outfit recommendations. The app can also generate day-by-day outfits based on travel plans, including destination, trip length, and activities. Style Sketch is part of Meta's recent surge of AI-driven app launches, including Waddle World, Pocket, and Vibes. This expansion aligns with Meta's strategy of releasing more apps, as noted by CEO Mark Zuckerberg's announcement of a more extensive app-focused approach to capitalize on AI's efficiency.
