People have a lot of clothes in their wardrobe, but run out of ideas for outfits very quickly, which means that they have to go out and buy more clothes. Or, people may just not know what outfits to wear given their wardrobe. What if other people could suggest new outfit ideas using existing items in the wardrobe? The goal of PK3k is to make uploading wardrobe items simple for the wardrobe owner and to make designing outfits easy for the outfit designers.

Motivations: Wardrobe owners have a lot of items of clothing in their wardrobe, but have run out of ideas for outfit combinations and want suggestions for new combinations. Or, wardrobe owners may not have a full wardrobe, but are looking for outfit suggestions. They are fashion-conscious individuals, but lack the skill, confidence, or confidence time to construct wardrobes for themselves.

   • "Designing an outfit for a 6' 5" model that wears size 0 is going to be different than designing an outfit for your every day person"
3. They don't need to see the person's face (but hair color and eye colors are important)
   • "I don't need to see their face"
   • "The person's hair and eye colors determine what colors will look good on them."
4. Personality of the person is important
