StileEye, a creation of Haileo, Inc., is the first Web-scale fashion discovery engine that sees fashion as consumers see it. Through state of the art computer vision algorithms and a unique proprietary framework that harnesses the visual information of the Web, we have built a self-learning visual engine that understands and recognizes any fashion object in terms of its visual cues (e.g., style, shape, color and pattern). As a result, StileEye ushers in a tipping point in the online fashion experience: consumers can use any fashion image as inspiration (e.g., a mobile snapshot of a magazine page or a friend's outfit or any image found on social media and the Web) and find similar items in merchant catalogues, on celebrity feeds, or through their own social networks. Thus, StileEye marks a generational shift in the online fashion experience - in one application we've connected consumers, trendsetters and online retailers to bring the fashion world to your fingertips.
