Previous Press The site enables users to populate a virtual closet with items from their real one, arrange a mood board of outfits, create a clothing wish list and glean how they might look in a garment they see online by using the site s virtual fitting room feature. 1 Clothia is a fashion technology platform meant to make online shopping social and interactive. technology [...] accessible to the user with the least amount of effort possible. when I explain Clothia to girls, most of them say, Oh my God, it s like the Clueless closet. I ve wanted that since I saw the movie. 4...the rapid growth of e-commerce presents an obvious opportunity. From there, it s easy to imagine a future iteration where brands would pay to have their goods featured on Clothia or even where sales could happen on the platform itself. 2 Clothia isn t just useful, it looks good The site inspires sartorial confidence e-commerce will comprise 20 to 25 percent of all clothing sales in about five years 3 What s also very cool about Clothia, though, is that it does more than just promote shopping and searching for new items Think of it as a tracking device for your existing closet 5 1 - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/01/fashion/virtual-closet-web-sites-like-pinterest-and-stylitics-revise-online-fashion-shopping.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 2 - http://adage.com/article/digital/clothia-lets-users-closets-online/235737/ 3 - http://www.wwd.com/media-news/digital/digerati-ponder-next-steps-in-social-media-5302520 4 - http://www.fastcompany.com/1796393/elena-silenok-magic-mirrors-virtual-closets-and-future-fashion 5 - http://thehighlow.com/2012/02/online-retailer-of-the-week-clothia/
