Who it's for
Solo developer or 2-person team building for African fashion buyers (Lagos, Accra, Nairobi first) who want daily outfit ideas without thinking; monetize via subscription or credits.
How to build it
1. Collect 500–1000 outfit images from local fashion blogs, Pinterest, and micro-influencers (get rights/attribution). Tag each with season, occasion, body type, vibe (minimalist, bold, casual).
2. Build a simple web app: user onboards with style quiz (5–10 questions), uploads 3–5 photos of clothes they own, chooses body type and daily activities.
3. Use a lightweight vision API (Claude's vision, or open-source CLIP) to analyze their uploaded wardrobe, then generate outfit combos matching their quiz answers and the mood/occasion they select that day.
4. Ship a basic Telegram or WhatsApp bot first (cheaper than native app, works on 2G), let users ask 'outfit for work today?' and get instant suggestions with styling tips.
5. Add a simple paywall: free tier = 3 outfit suggestions/week, paid tier (₦500–1000/month or $3–5 USD) = daily unlimited + seasonal trend tips.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere
Nigeria has massive fashion consciousness and mobile-first users. A WhatsApp/Telegram MVP costs almost nothing to run, reaches offline markets, and skips app-store friction. You can build this for $50–100/month and charge in Naira with Paystack; Western fashion stylist AI won't know local brands, body diversity, or climate—yours will. Start with one city, go viral in fashion Slack/WhatsApp groups,
