Runway-to-retail matching · methodology
We score retail products against runway looks using FashionSigLIP embeddings, the same vector model that powers our look search.
For Y2K, Catwalker keeps protected runway imagery backstage and surfaces affiliate-safe product images, ranked from the same visual and cultural signal graph. We will not surface cards built on guesses.
