The problem
Fashion-commerce recommendations usually optimise for another purchase without understanding what the customer already owns.
Customer and operations dashboards with backend services for parcel lifecycles, tracking events and notifications, built for high-throughput transactional workflows.
Environment provisioning, session management and resource monitoring, designed for security, multi-tenancy and concurrent workloads.
What was built
Fashionly grounds recommendations in the user's wardrobe, builds outfits from existing items and recommends products only where a genuine wardrobe gap exists. Khanya, a LangGraph stylist with about 15 typed tools, handles wardrobe access, catalogue search, saved looks and human-stylist bookings.
