Traditional retail models are failing to resonate with Gen Z, a critical demographic in the fashion industry. This digitally-native generation craves unique experiences that transcend mere transactions.
-
Visualization Gap: Difficulty in visualizing outfit combinations hinders customer satisfaction and purchase decisions, ultimately impacting sales.
-
Limited Engagement: Gen Z seeks interactive platforms that fuel self-expression. Traditional retail's static environment fails to provide this, leading to lower customer retention.
-
Community Disconnect: The absence of social interaction and community building, central to Gen Z's online experience, weakens loyalty and engagement within traditional retail spaces.
- Engagement on a Shopping Platform ποΈ
- Social Shopping Integration π²
Integrated into the Myntra website, this tool allows users to browse and combine catalog items to visualize complete outfits.
- Drag and Drop from catalog to experiment with different outfit combinations.
- Visualize Outfits with the help of AI, powered by advanced segmentation models in PyTorch for accurate image segmentation.
- Save privately, Publish publicly, or Buy combination directly.
- Search with AI using the Gemini API to generate relevant keywords and enhance search results.
- Seamless and interactive shopping experience.
By bridging the visualization gap, customers can see how different items come together, enhancing customer satisfaction and aiding purchase decisions. This feature also highlights hidden gems in our catalog. As users share their unique collections, previously unnoticed clothing items gain visibility and reach.

The segmentation model utilized in this project is derived from the repository found at https://github.com/oyelmali/Cloth-Semantic-Segmentation . We have customized the model to incorporate separate codes with distinct alpha masks for tops, bottoms, skirts, and coords. Further, we will make sure upon generating the PNG images, we have integrated the code to ensure that these images are automatically uploaded to the segmentation folder within our AWS bucket.
Different clothing and accessories can be visualized as various outfit combinations using GenAI. For this, we will be using the DeepFashion Try-On model and the Dressing-In-Order model. These models allow different pieces of clothing to be visualized on subjects of various skin tones and body types. Layering of clothes and accessories can also be implemented using these models. This provides customers with a sense of personalization and helps them pick suitable products. It also helps reduce the return of products.
There's a wealth of outfit combinations shared on platforms like Pinterest, but creating these often requires using separate apps. By integrating a canvas feature with Myntra, users can directly visualize and share their outfit creations on social media. This integration keeps users engaged with the Myntra platform, enhancing user retention and driving increased engagement and sales. Users can easily create, visualize, and share their unique outfits without needing to switch between different applications, leading to a more seamless and interactive shopping experience.
