VioletBeam
Browse fashion by color and preview the look on yourself with AI try-on.
VioletBeam is built around a question most shopping sites don't really answer well: what does this actually look like on me? You browse clothing and accessories by brand, category and color, and when something catches your eye, its AI try-on studio lets you preview the look before you buy anything. Its Journal section pairs brand stories with the specific pieces it's talking about, and links straight through to the retailer's own product page or a targeted search, so discovery doesn't dead-end at VioletBeam, it's meant to send you onward to actually buy.
