I hope that the company will also focus on employing women and raising the numbers of women in tech! :-) Given that the user base is female, it would make sense and bring the company value to have a diverse workplace.

Here is a nice detail about their process:
We launched an extremely early alpha of Chicisimo with one key functionality. We launched under another name and in another country. You couldn’t even upload photos… but it allowed us to iterate with real data and get a lot of qualitative input. At some point, we launched the real Chicisimo, and removed this alpha from the App Store.
Just yesterday I was wondering where to begin searching for clothing related apps to see what is available in this space. Glad to see this article.

OT: This type of article ('how we hit the goldmine with xy') is always tempting to read but eventually a disappointment.
If someone had the plan to the goldmine why should he disclose it?

What is the current state of the art for finding similar images? Is it auto-encoders nn's, convnets and then just use some sort of distance measure?

I really love how machine learning makes something mundane but yet exhausting, into something seamless and enjoyable.

Would you accept someone who has already has a FT job and wants to make more $ by doing remote on the side?

I'm sad there's not a version of Chicisimo for guys :(

So they made a search-engine based on deep learning for a specific (but quite large) target group.
How long do they think it will take Google to catch up, if they haven't already?

Was this the main point of the story? - "At some point, we were lucky to get noticed by the App Store team, and we’ve been featured as App of the Day throughout the world"

They’re growing women with their app?!
