How brands give themselves away
Logos are the obvious one, but most luxury pieces don't carry a visible logo. Signature designs do the work instead: a woven-leather bag, a horsebit on a loafer, a quilted chain-strap bag, a particular buckle. These are what a trained eye — or a well-trained model — recognises.
For celebrity outfits there is a third route: stylists and brands credit looks in press coverage, so a red-carpet dress is often publicly identified within a day.
When the brand can't be identified
Plain basics — a white tee, straight jeans, a black coat — usually can't be traced to one brand from a photo, and anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing. For those, the description matters more than the label: the right fabric weight and cut will get you 95% of the look for a fraction of the price.

Questions
Can RunwayTwin tell if something is fake?
No. It identifies designs from photos; it does not authenticate items. Buy from the brand or an authorised retailer if authenticity matters.
What if the photo is blurry?
You will still get a description of each piece and similar items to buy, but brand identification needs visible detail.
Does it work for shoes, bags and jewellery?
Yes. Accessories are often the easiest pieces to identify because their designs are so distinctive.
