Apparently polyvore does do direct product feeds from merchants. (Amazing what you learn when you click the "about" button!) As they say on the site:
"There are three ways you can work with Polyvore. The first is to provide Polyvore with a feed of your items. Then if you want to promote those items, you can sponsor a contest to get users to interact with and engage around your brand & products. Lastly, you can incorporate Polyvore's editor functionality into your own website via the Polyvore dressing room."
What's the dressing room offer, you might ask? Well....
"The Polyvore Dressing Room allows users to build outfits specifically from your collection of products. Once built, the outfit can be saved and shared, supplying you with a virtually limitless supply of user-generated looks for your site, as well as valuable insight on product popularity and cross-selling opportunities."
i.e., free labor! free market testing! free advertising! Hurrah!
Let the set making begin....

I gave it a shot and tried making a couple of my own Polyvore sets. They aren't really in the spirit of classic Polyvore, but if I keep at it, I'm sure I will be inspired to buy ruffled mini skirts and platform clogs by the truck load very soon.
I think they can be accessed here:
