Depop Transforms into Daily Fashion Hub with New Outfits Feature
Etsy has snapped up Depop for a whopping $1.6 billion in 2021. The acquisition saw a change in leadership, with Peter Semple stepping in as the permanent CEO in July 2023, following a stint as interim CEO. Depop is now set to become a daily fashion inspiration hub with its new Outfits feature.
Depop's journey towards becoming a daily fashion destination began in 2022 when it introduced generative AI and image recognition technology. This innovation allows the platform to automatically generate product descriptions, streamlining the selling process. Meanwhile, Pinterest, a rival in the visual discovery space, introduced Shuffles in 2022 and collages to its main app in 2023, offering similar features to Depop's Outfits.
The Outfits feature, launched by Depop, enables users to style outfits using items from the marketplace. Users can create collages, adjust item sizes, customize backgrounds, find similar sold-out items, and share or save their looks. This interactive tool is designed to enhance user engagement and inspire creative expression.
Depop, now under the leadership of Peter Semple, is transforming into a daily fashion inspiration platform with the launch of its Outfits feature. The generative AI and image recognition technology, along with the new feature, aim to improve user experience and boost engagement. The platform's evolution mirrors the growing trend of visual discovery and interactive shopping experiences, as seen in Pinterest's similar offerings.
