“This telegram must be closely paraphrased before being communicated to anyone” (history.stackexchange.com)

I built SpinMyLook, an AI “what-if” fitting room: upload a selfie, pick an outfit reference, and get an instant image render. It’s useful beyond viral edits; people can preview silhouettes/colors before buying, creators can make moodboards that look real, and couples can test wedding looks before appointments. For a fun demo, I generated Pedro Pascal in Bad Bunny’s 2025 Met Gala outfit.

How it works: my pipeline Nano Banana (on Gemini Flash 2.5 Image) handles face alignment, relighting, and compositing. Focus is on a quick preview and a cleaner final render. I’d love feedback on: onboarding clarity, speed vs. quality trade-offs, bridal/event workflows, and any UX papercuts in the first 60 seconds.

Demo + try it: https://spinmylook.com Happy to answer technical/ethical questions. —Mesut

Stack/infra (high-level): - Frontend: React (Vite/Next) - Backend: Node/TypeScript + REST; queued renders - Inference: Nano Banana on Gemini Flash 2.5 Image on Vertex; - Infra: Docker/K8s; object storage for short-lived assets; CDN

Privacy/safety: No training on user images; no resale/sharing of uploads “AI Edit / Parody” watermark on exports; celebrity use is for parody/visualization only NSFW/minors detection; blocklist for abusive inputs;

Limitations: Best with front-lit, uncovered faces; large occlusions/sunglasses degrade results Extreme poses and complex hair can produce edge artifacts

Roadmap: Side-by-side before/after, bridal templates, batch renders, higher-res, pose-match hints

Happy to share more details or logs/screens if useful.
