there is a place to argue that when machines enforce social expectations over fleshy peers the panopticon analogy no longer applies, or has to move to other domains. When there is not an invisible human or culture on the other end of your panopticonic cell, the peering machine eyes that give you fashion/social/love/life advice have the same affect on the newly adapted society as the walls themselves had on the society before it. And the level of harm (implied by "dystopian" label) is debatable. I would argue that the human condition and its cultures will continue to exist largerly as usual so long as we are able retain 1 secret. With each new technological shift the unadapted generation thinks the last secret has been lost and dystopia has finally arrived. So its worth taking predictions from techo doom with a grain of salt. Regardless, this product is absurd, niche, insecure and as a result will probably have little sway. Amazon would literlly have to give it away for free and subsidise the cost on some uber (pun intended) hope of monopolising and destroying the entire brick-and-mortor fashion store industry to have any hope of significant impact, imho.
