Digital Clothing Hangers display Facebook LIKES live. With any new marketing concept, however, problems arise. The most obvious issue with digital hangers is the possibility of shoppers switching the items from their corresponding hangers. Holding that aside, there are serious questions about whether shoppers really want an item that is liked by thousands of random people? Especially whether digital hangers will drive away stylish influencers, the target market for many brands. Die-hard stylists and fashionistas have already raised some doubt about digital hangers. The pushback is not surprising since stylish individuals often prefer a unique style, as opposed to being influenced by general popularity or what’s in most people’s closet. One fashion blogger, Nora Crotty, described her personal hesitancy to use FashionLike in stark terms: “I wouldn’t even want style advice from 90% of my Facebook ‘friends’, let alone the entirety of the Facebook universe. Even Mark Zuckerberg wears a hoodie every day.”

wrathofprawn: for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge. their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.

ofakind:

You know what was wrong with Cher Horowitz’s computerized closet? Two things: She didn’t have the internet, for one, and her data-gathering was limited. Seventeen years later—yah, can’t believe it either—meet Stylitics, an amazing new site that lets you log what you own and, more…

Curious to try this quantified-self fashion data tracking.
