1. Core Visual Standards for SHEIN SuppliersVISNOVA AI

As an international fast-fashion pacesetter, SHEIN maintains meticulous photographic criteria:

  • 1Model Aesthetics & Natural Posture:
    • - Emphasize Western and international model appearances aligned with destination demographics; - Postures must remain upright, natural, and relaxed—avoiding exaggerated contortions or cropped foreheads; - Facial lighting must maintain natural dimension without excessive airbrushing that results in artificial plastic skin textures.
  • 2Framing & Canvas Proportion:
    • - The garment must occupy 70% to 85% of total frame real estate, ensuring bold visibility; - Necklines, cuffs, waistlines, and hemline construction must be clearly depicted.
  • 3Studio White Backgrounds & Contextual Pairings:
    • - Hero images require pure white or minimalist light-grey studio settings; - Secondary carousel images should feature 1 to 2 lifestyle street-style captures to demonstrate real-world movement and drape.

    2. Temu Fully-Managed & Semi-Managed Red LinesVISNOVA AI

    Because Temu operates on high-velocity algorithmic recommendations, its image moderation systems penalize defects aggressively:

  • 🔴 Red Line 1: Impure Backgrounds — The hero background must be a solid, pure color without dirty gradients, halos, or floor stains.
  • 🔴 Red Line 2: Scraped Assets & Watermarks — Re-uploading screenshots containing competitor watermarks triggers immediate account deductions and listing takedowns.
  • 🔴 Red Line 3: Chromatic Aberration & Color Mismatches — Severe color discrepancies between catalog images and delivered inventory directly inflate return rates, triggering algorithmic listing suspensions.

    • 3. Achieving 100% Compliance with Visnova AIVISNOVA AI
