What Was Special About the Polyvore Community?

Fashmates has the answer Polyvore community members are looking for.

After the takeover of Polyvore by Ssense, and its immediate shut down it is understandable that Polyvore’s 20 million users were shocked and surprised.

Why the Shock and Surprise?

According to Digital Daze, the friendships and connections people created in communities were built up over the course of Polyvore’s eleven-year history have been deleted without consideration or explanation.

And, this was what was most special about the Polyvore community.

Some users have turned to sites such as Reddit where groups have been set up for members to track down their friends.

As well, Twitter has been infiltrated with posts from users looking to reconnect.

“It feels like I had an art studio filled with 10 years’ worth of work and someone just burnt it down” Jasmine Wingfield, a filmmaker from London who used the platform to create costumes for her characters, claimed.

“Polyvore had one of the sweetest and most positive online communities I’ve ever come across,” she continues, “There was a unique spirit of supportiveness and creative exchange among users, … There were many support groups set up for this on Polyvore. Where are those people going to go now?”
