1. App brief for Stylr

My app is to help who want to improve or explore fashion styles. Though Instagram does help with showing different peoples styles, and Pinterest helps in enabling a particular person organise all those styles, fashion is far more complicated than single hashtag searches or board captions. I wanted to make an app that tries to address the nuance of fashion and allow others to reach out to people who are fashion expert and allow said expert to get paid.

I came up with the idea of having styleboards having different photos. The styleboards can be upvoted and downvoted on so that users know which styles are popular(similar to reddit). Then each photo can be upvoted and downvoted on so users can see what is popular in terms of photos. Comments on photos will help the stylist to see what is popular and not.
