Reddit Cofounder Alexis Ohanian Just Bet On An AI Fashion App That Lets You Try On Designer Clothes Without Ever Leaving Your Couch
Silicon Valley is buzzing over Doji, a new AI-powered fashion app that lets users create lifelike avatars of themselves and virtually try on clothing—so much so that Reddit Inc. (NYSE:RDDT) co-founder Alexis Ohanian has invested in the company.
What Happened: Launched in January 2024, Doji is a virtual try-on app that allows users to upload selfies, generate a personalized AI model, and test out different clothing styles—all from their phones.
The startup, founded by Dorian Dargan (ex-Meta, Apple) and Jim Winkens (ex-Google DeepMind), is gaining traction among tech workers, early adopters, and investors.

One of its biggest backers? Ohanian, whose venture capital firm Seven Seven Six invested in Doji's early-stage funding round, reported Business Insider.
“Consumer is fun again thanks to AI,” Ohanian wrote last month in a post on X, formerly Twitter, where he has been sharing AI-generated outfit photos from the beta version of Doji.
Doji allows users to try on curated designer pieces from brands like Maison Margiela, Diesel, and Rick Owens, as well as import products with shoppable links to see how they would look before buying.
