A Tagwalk alternative that analyses the runway, not just searches it
Tagwalk is the runway search engine the industry actually uses — the 'Google of fashion week'. It indexes hundreds of thousands of catwalk looks by tag (item, colour, print, trend, city) so editors, buyers and designers can find exactly the looks they need in seconds. For fast, free runway image discovery, it is excellent and hard to beat.
Lodet AI is not a search engine — it is agentic AI for fashion that turns runway signals into cited analysis and finished deliverables. Where Tagwalk answers 'show me every sheer look at SS26', Lodet answers 'quantify the sheer trend's velocity across the season, compare it to last year, and build me the trend report' — with sources attached and an editable file at the end.
The two are genuinely complementary. Tagwalk is the reference layer for finding runway imagery; Lodet is the intelligence layer that reads runway alongside retail, social and editorial signals and ships a trend book, brand brief or board deck. If your need is discovery, use Tagwalk; if it's analysis and a deliverable, that's where Lodet fits.

The difference
Where Lodet is different.
Analysis, not just retrieval
Quantifies trend velocity, compares seasons and explains the 'why' — turning runway looks into a cited read, not just a grid of images.
Runway synthesised with other signals
Reads the catwalk alongside retail data, social velocity and editorial sources for a fuller trend picture than runway imagery alone.
Finished, editable deliverables
Ships a trend book, buyer's deck or brand brief as editable PDF, PPTX, DOCX or XLSX — with sources — not a set of saved image links.
The whole research surface
Beyond runway: brand intelligence, market analysis, Tier-2/3 supplier sourcing and task automation in one agentic platform.
