Project Description:

“i-closet” is a proposal that utilizes social-networking platform methodology that provides users the ease to share and interact with people on what they have inside of their closet… virtually.

With the booming of online purchase, such as Ebay, and social-networking website like Facebook, people tend to feel the ease of being at home, running chores just right in front of their computer, without having to leave their doorstep. Nonetheless, it’s also part of the human-nature that people craves to belong to the society, part of the herd, wanting to be noticed and adored, constantly expressing how they carry themselves, showing their personal style and attitude, through what they change most on daily basis clothing.

i-Closet is a fabulous application, both available on the website and iPhone.
It allows you photograph and share your favorite fashion items with friends.
Let your pals know what you have and what you are wearing, inviting your groups to offer their thoughts and suggestions.

Application Features:

Manage your wardrobe by custom categories
(also Tag each item with a custom label and use the Search tool to quickly browse through your images to find the perfect matching.)
Create outfits and decide what to wear anywhere/anytime
An Archive that would records outfits you wore on a built-in calendar
(So that you’ll prevent from wearing same outfits too often.)
Get suggestions from i-closet’s shuffle that fits a particular type of occasion according to your own event calendar
Share stylist ideas with your groups via sending over email or MMS
(Pretty much same thing as twitter, you may have your own followers)
Access other’s i-closet and check it out their fashion diary
Bounce your outfit off your friends
Having trouble deciding whether buy it or not? Sending out your wishlist and getting advices from your groups.
Borrow or steal: providing exchange platform to let users trade their items

Eco-consciousness is also part of the idea on “My closet”, providing virtual exchange-market to let users trade their clothes with each other. As the saying goes, “Someone's trash may be someone's treasure”

I like to propose this as I believe that it’ll not only captures people’s interest, especially on younger generations or hippies, but also promotes fashionable sense to the people. This never-been-used before idea definately snowball to something greater.
