Would You Trust a Mirror for Fashion Advice?

โ€œMirror, mirror on the wall, whoโ€™s the fairest of them all?โ€

I never expected theyโ€™d take this faerie tale seriously. LOL. Apply it to clothes shopping at that! I thought it may have been more applicable for the beauty industry, i.e. make up, hair products, but I guess they considered it more suitable for the former since women do try on the apparel before purchasing them (and seeking feedback from companions go with it โ€” the fun part about shopping for some people).

An interactive mirror allows shoppers to receive instant feedback on outfits from friends in other locations. โ€” REUTERS

How does it work? If you watch the report, the mirror is equipped with infrared that transmits images to the customerโ€™s handset or any portable device that has the same technology, which then transmits a live video feed to desired recipients and allows instant feedback. PLUS you get to see the SMS or text messages on the mirror! Gah.

Itโ€™s developed for **Nanette LePore** boutiques but others are expected to catch on and use it, too.

Funny how technology seems to creep into the fashion industry. First, the mobile stylist โ€” now, this! Ha. Itโ€™s not enough that the age of techwear is upon us. LOL.

Fabulous hat tip to the **Sassy Lawyer**!
