Meta Launches Style Sketch in 3 Asian Markets as AI App Push Accelerates

3 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Oct 29

Summary

  • Style Sketch is now available on iOS and Android in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, letting users build a virtual closet from Instagram photos or manually uploaded images.
  • The app uses that wardrobe data to suggest outfit combinations, generate looks around a specific item, and show them on a model matched to the user’s body shape and skin tone.
  • Trip planning is built in: users can enter a destination, trip length and activities to get a day-by-day outfit plan that factors in weather and itinerary.
  • Meta has not said whether it will expand the app beyond Asia, entering a market that already includes fashion-closing tools from startups such as Alta and features in Google Photos.
  • The launch fits Meta’s broader AI app spree — including Waddle World, Pocket and Vibes — after Mark Zuckerberg told employees the company plans to ship far more apps.
