Very nicely done. If you did this for Indian celebrities, VCs in India would throw eight figure sums to buy you out. As an immigrant, I'd say Americans are relatively more rational ie. not so celeb-crazy as to completely remodel themselves after a celebrity, though teens, especially teen girls tend to be an the outlier in this aspect. But if you look at celeb-crazy countries like India, you have grown men & women in their 20s,30s,40s...who will ape celeb dresses, celeb haircuts, celeb behavior even. I have had the unfortunate experience of sitting through entire 3-hour Bollywood films where all the audience did was take notes on what the lead heroine was wearing so they could go home & purchase those exact outfits.

Also South Korea and Japan are also more openly interested in fashion.

  For sure, we are already planning on branching out to a greater demographic. Thanks for taking a look at the site!

  South Korea and Japan and completely different in term of fashion, it doesn't make much sense to mix them. South Korea is much more flashy, celebrity-looking like fashion with huge sunglasses.

    Yes, but are they similarly interested?
    - cm2012 12y ago
      Absolutely yes.

      Might be another untapped market for us. Good suggestion.

  True. That said, I have no idea who many of these guys are.

      Can you back some? I'd love this for some old Steve McQueen outfits

        OK, as an older American male, now I'm starting to see the appeal.
      - jadlimcaco 12y ago
        For sure. We will definitely be doing some special things :)

In Italy (I bet more generally in EU) I see more the use case of knowing what a celebrity wears, but have a couple of alternatives to do a good match, without looking exactly the same... food for thoughts :) Great work btw!

  That could be an additional feature: allow users to comment on particular items so they can discuss where to pull off the same look for less.
  - natewinn 12y ago
    That's a fantastic idea! We encourage commenting on individual outfit pages. Our focus is community at famousoutfits.com. We already working on some new features to make community involvement even better. Thanks again!

  Thanks so much for the kind words and insight. Why would you say the trends are like that in Italy and EU? Also, how "close" would be a "good match?" We really value your thoughts, thanks again!

    Fantastic idea. I've seen similar sites, but 99.9% of them focus on fashion for women and I felt this market was undeserved for men. I'm not suggesting you maintain only one gender, but I appreciate that you are showing male outfits. Really love the notion of a daily (at minimum) outfit as well. Perhaps, in addition to Facebook/Instagram/e-newsletter, you could add a link for RSS? Keep fighting the good fight, love the site.

      There's already an RSS feed setup but will be adding a button on the site. Thanks for the feedback. http://famousoutfits.com/feed/ http://famousoutfits.com/feed/

>>I have had the unfortunate experience of sitting through entire 3-hour Bollywood films where all the audience did was take notes... As an Indian I find this strange, when and where did this happen? I know we are Bollywood crazy nation, and we tend to over do celebrity worship. But going to a movie just to take notes? That's a little going too far.

  I'm wondering too. AFAIK the culture of entertainment/fashion channels, celeb journalism and tabloids are much more rampant than US than any other nation, which is confusing too, since I haven't seen anyone pick up those magazines when waiting in line for grocery checkouts :/ Something is not right

Thanks for the kind words about the site! I would disagree that American's are "not so celeb-crazy." I think many American's are very in tune with celebrities. Not just their clothing, but every aspect of their life. Though some people might not want to duplicate an exact look, we feel many are looking to celebs for the latest fashion inspiration. Thanks again!

I agree. This site can definitely be expanded towards European and Asian cultures.
