Online fashion retail is the most popular category of e-shopping in many countries and the fastest growing in the US with growth of 20%.

The Solution
Fashinating makes real time recommendations based on the users’ instant choices and accumulated profile. This ensures that you see the best t-shirts out of the one million first! Others might claim the same, but who makes the best targeting? Even the perfect recommendation engine cannot function without taste data! The winner in this industry will be the one able to gather and utilize user data quickly. Fashinating’s patented process ensures visitors add on average 8 products to their favorites per visit! This ensures it selects the best t-shirts for you when at the same time it displays large pictures helping you make the right choice.
Project Status
The company has been funded to date by its founders’, select angels and the Openfund (http://theopenfund.com) in 2009. Its users have added over 8 million products to their favorites to this date.
