Working off MaryDellamorte's idea: how about just 'Chimera'?

Best answer: There was a toy in the 80s called Fashion Plates that had heads, torsos, and lower bodies that you could mix and match, make a crayon rubbing, and then color in.
If I had such a website I'd totally call it Fashion Plates.

Best answer: You're aware there's already Polyvore, I imagine.
"Cabine à la mode" if you want a French option. A "cabine" is what changing rooms are called, and of course English speakers already know "à la mode" means "in style", but used this way for a website it would also mean "cabine for trying on stylish clothes".

Best answer: FWIW I think Americans think "a la mode" means "with ice cream."

Response by poster: Much thanks to everyone who contributed! The idea creator actually didn't know Polyvore existed. But still, we had a great time (one of those quick-weekend-prototype project things). The team loved all these names!
