I spent significant time working on a virtual dressing room system using 3D avatars created from user photos, and clothing designs from fashion design firms, their brands and manufacturers. With a 3D game developer and film VFX background, I got an MBA to help with my pursuit of the idea. However, once in full time business development with a working system, I found the secrecy and competitive suspicion within the Fashion Industry to be a progress stopper. The clothing designers are so secretive, the clothing manufactures are not given the designs until the last possible moment - to prevent copying. This situation creates a very difficult time frame whereby the clothing designs need to be photographed for marketing literally 2-3 days before they hit the stores. In order to have a virtual clothing try-on system ready when the clothing becomes available, the company producing the virtual clothing system needs to be inside the secrecy veil, with every client, and uber security between clients. If you'd like to discuss what I learned, I'd be happy to share: bsenftner at earthlink dot net. I globally patented the process, but lost the patent in bankruptcy; this is a difficult problem to crack.
