After all, fit and taste are just a bunch of attributes: waist, inseam, material, color, weight, durability, and pattern. It’s all just data. If you collect enough, you’ll get a pretty good picture of what clothes people want.<br /> “But the part of me that loves clothes recognized the human element in shopping—the feeling of finding something you weren’t expecting to and delighting in the fact that it fits you and your budget. I saw an opportunity to combine those two elements—data and human experience—to create a new model for buying clothes.”</p> <p><a href="https://hbr.org/2018/05/stitch-fixs-ceo-on-selling-personal-style-to-the-mass-market?utm_campaign=hbr&#038;utm_source=linkedin&#038;utm_medium=social" rel="nofollow">https://hbr.org/2018/05/stitch.....ium=social</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-38#post-1917013 Mon, 07 May 2018 10:03:22 +0000 Inge 1917013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know the drill, dear Fabbers:-)<br />Post your style-related link below, and do let us know why you would like to share it.</p> <p>Many thanks! </p>
