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 polka_dot, 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.
