Jess Lee | Democratizing Fashion | Udacity Talks

Yeah. I think that's one of the interesting things about fashion is the trends have traditionally been driven by, you know, the fashion editors in New York and Paris and Milan who say, this is what you should dress like. This is what's cool today. But I think the Internet has a way of democratizing everything that it touches. So, I mean, that's happening in the fashion industry, too. And what Polyvore does is it empowers women and girls all over the world to say, no, no, no, this is what we think is cool. This is what we think is beautiful. Yeah. And as you know, a young girl growing up, I certainly felt this way, like, oh, I'm supposed to look like this, and I don't. And I don't. There's no reason to feel bad about it. Style should be about expressing who you really are and being authentically yourself versus trying to fit into someone else's ideal of beauty. So I think that's a nice thing about Polybo. You can find that niche. You can be yourself.
