I like the way that Google is aggregating content into one shop. I've often wondered why the marketing geniuses at retail stores like Gap haven't recruited celebrities (or their stylists) to assemble groups of clothing and accessories. Brand celebrity specific micro sites, target trending celebrity keywords, show people clothes that popular people wear sort of thing.
In a different line, an interesting facebook app would allow those wacky kids to easily assemble groups of clothes that they own or want. Wrap those collections in customizable page templates (photos, colors, that sort of thing) and allow them to be shared with their friends.

So big, I'm wondering why I'm typing this because it's the same area I'm working in. :-)

- dabent 16y agoThanks for sharing that link. It's interesting to see what people come up with. It's also a space that I think not many of us startup types are familiar with, if what people were wearing to Startup School was any indication.
