Items, Outfits, and Catalogs explained

Your Library is where every garment you upload lives — and once you have a handful in there, it becomes the fastest way to spin up new product shoots without re-uploading anything. This post walks through the three building blocks and shows how to use them together.

The three building blocks

The mental model: Items are your raw materials, Outfits are recipes, Catalogs are the cookbook chapters.

Read the diagram bottom-up: every Item you upload is a single garment. Outfits reference Items — pick one top, one bottom, one footwear and save the combination as a named look. Catalogs are pure organization on top — they group both Items and Outfits, with each Item or Outfit living in at most one Catalog at a time.

How Items get into your Library

Two ways:

1. Automatically, every time you upload. Drop a garment photo in any of the upload steps inside Create and it's silently saved to your Library as a new Item. The default name is Untitled Top / Untitled Bottom / Untitled Footwear, which you can rename anytime from the Library tab.
2. Manually, via the Add Items button in Library → Items. Useful for bulk-loading a whole product line at once.

Every Item can have:

• A front photo (required) and an optional back photo — uploading both lets us produce more accurate back-facing poses later.
• A name like Linen Polo — Sand so it's easy to find.
• Specifications — garment type, fit style, hem/sleeve finishing, instructions. These help the AI render the exact silhouette you want.
• Reference photos — additional shots showing how the garment should fit on a body.

You can edit any of these later from Library → Items → click an item → Edit.

When to make an Outfit

Outfits are the time-saver. If you're going to shoot the same look on five different models, build it once as an Outfit and you can load all three garments (top + bottom + footwear) into a new project with a single click.

Create one from Library → Outfits → New Outfit. Pick one top, one bottom, one footwear from your Items, give it a name, and save.

Good candidates for an Outfit:

• A "uniform" look you shoot often (e.g. Plain White Tee + Black Jeans + White Sneakers)
• A complete styled look for a specific drop (e.g. Spring '26 Lookbook 03)
• A hero combination for a category page

You're not locked in — Outfits don't own the Items, they reference them. Editing a referenced Item updates everywhere the Outfit is used.

When to make a Catalog

Catalogs are pure organization. They don't change anything about how the AI works — they just give you a folder structure so the Library doesn't become a long undifferentiated list. Each Item or Outfit can live in at most one Catalog at a time.

Create one from Library → Catalogs → New Catalog. Then drag (or use the menu) to move Items and Outfits into it.

Typical setups:

• By season: Spring 2026, Summer 2026, Holiday 2025
• By collection or drop: Resort 01, Capsule 02
• By brand line: Mens — Performance, Womens — Loungewear
• By client (if you run an agency): Acme Apparel, Studio Voss

In the Create flow you can browse by Catalog too — pick a Catalog from the dropdown on the upload step and it filters the Library picker to just that group's garments.

A typical workflow

1. Upload your product photos. Every flat-lay lands in Library → Items automatically. Rename them as you go so you can find them later.
2. Build Outfits for the looks you'll re-use.
3. Group everything into Catalogs once you have enough garments that scrolling gets old.
4. In Create, use the Library / Outfits / Catalogs tabs to pull what you need into a project without re-uploading anything.

That's the whole loop. The more you put in early, the faster every future shoot gets.
