Shot and Shop and Chicismo, Spanish startups applying technology to fashion
Shot & Shop (shoot and buy), allows you to photograph clothes, shoes or accessories with your mobile phone to find the same or similar items and buy them in online shops. This is achieved from a database that already includes more than 1.1 million fashion products from more than 5,000 brands. In addition, with this app users can choose the most appropriate combination to go aesthetically matched.
The company has just moved to Silicom Valley with the aim of finding more opportunities to grow, improve the search engine and perhaps take the company public, "although another option is that another company buys us first," says the founder.
Chicism is an application with a search engine that allows you to combine a type of garment and a colour, and returns suggestions in the form of photographs uploaded by users, as well as filtering whether you need an outfit for work, going out for a drink, going to a party, going for a walk, in summer or winter.
