I think there is a YC funded company doing this already, I'm sure someone here will remember the name.

My fashion idea involves you being presented with a bunch of different outfits and picking which ones you like to train a recommendation engine. Then, the site recommends complete in-season outfits (with affiliate links)

Dammit, hook that crap up to my closet, so it prepares an outfit for me to wear every morning, instead of having to fumble around for that crap when I just woke up. If I don't like it, I can say, "another suggestion!"

And allow it to order one new outfit every 4-6 months based on which outfits I've been wearing, so I don't have to go to the mall to buy clothes.

i actually suggested this idea 2 years ago to the devs at delicious monster as a product similar to their delicious library (since their product already supporting lending, isight, cool cataloging, ...)... no bites

shoutfit

Shoutfit, based on its site being down, seems to have possibly failed to heed PG's "don't die" message." I like the name shoutfit, though... Catchy.

The Shoutfit guys were, last I heard, working on BuyThisLook, but it's also non-existent. So they died twice, I guess.

eric, one of the shoutfit guys, recently changed his occupation on linkedin to Hiker at Appalachian Trail (Health, Wellness and Fitness industry).

sounds like pretty much the coolest job ever. =)
