Like.com Acquires Weardrobe

Like.com went shopping for a new Weardrobe, and the latter relaunched Wednesday featuring the former’s Likesense visual-search technology, which identifies clothing items and visually searches the Web for similar and specific outfits matching that style.

Weardrobe describes itself as a leading street-style Web site, while Like.com is a style shopping engine specifically designed for apparel, accessories and home décor.

Weardrobe founder Suzanne Xie said:

We’ve noticed that our community is looking not only to inspire and be inspired but also wants to replicate trendy creations in their own closet. Joining Like.com is exciting because the additional resources and technology create a more satisfying experience for Weardrobe users.

We are so appreciative of our fans and community, whose creative talents and imagination have made Weardrobe what it is today. With this acquisition, we’re now able to offer more opportunities for our audience to connect through Weardrobe-sponsored events and conferences.

Like.com CEO Munjal Shah added:

We love street style because it really expresses global style personalities, but it still remains a bit of tease for fashion-savvy fans. Now, after fueling your curiosity with inspired fashion looks, you can actually shop for them—bringing the experience to a different and, ultimately, more fulfilling, level.

The process of shopping is evolving. No longer is it just about the static search. Sites like Weardrobe are the fresh voice of a new generation and, by partnering with them, we serve up the ultimate style offering—taking inspiration from the streets and making it attainable.
