A new virtual fitting room, designed to let online shoppers using the website of fashion retailer Quiz see how they might look in their chosen outfit, has gone down a storm with customers.

The UK-based women’s clothing specialist unveiled the feature at the end of 2011, following a major makeover of its website.

By clicking on the ‘fitting room’ tab of Quiz’s website, users can take control of a 3D avatar which they are able to alter to reflect their own body. Height, weight, bra size, waist and hip measurements can all be altered, along with hair colour, to make the virtual model as realistic as possible. Once a customer has created their model, they can select their chosen items of clothing from the site and build up an outfit, using everything from evening dresses and maxi dresses to jewellery and footwear.

When the user has come up with their very own classic outfit, there is no need to keep it a secret. Instead, they can print out the image to show to friends, or share it over the internet using Facebook and Twitter.

Haroun Saleemi – E-commerce Manager at Quiz said: “The idea behind the virtual fitting room was to take our online shopping experience a step further, and make it easier than ever for women to get a feel for the huge range of dresses, footwear and accessories that we have available online.

“One of the comments we kept hearing from customers was about how much of a difference it would make to be able to get more of an idea how an item of clothing would actually look. From the feedback we’ve received so far, the virtual fitting room has made that a reality and customers are really making the most of it.”

Additional changes to the website include a new sleek design, along with an updated navigation system to make getting around the site quicker and easier. Information on store availability has also been added, so shoppers who want to try Quiz’s clothes on for real can make sure their items are in stock at their local outlet.

Missguided.co.uk is your ultimate online fix when it comes to affordable fashion and the SS12 season is shaping up to be the most exciting one yet! Indulge in the latest trends with Missguided’s range of exciting new-in styles brought to you the second the trends hit. Choose from a range of party dresses, tops, jeans, shorts, skirts, tights and not to mention that all important footwear. With exciting prints, sophisticated glamour and new styles you can shop for all your wardrobe essentials from the comfort of your own living room.

Tribal Print

Much like switching to bright lipstick or embracing a steady rotation of summery skirts, our infatuation with bold, tribal-print pieces inevitably emerges when we transition into warmer months! Just like the colour blocking/jewel tones trend of AW11, tribal prints is taking over this Spring/Summer. The trend consists of strong, graphic prints combined with warm, earthy tones and natural accents. Tribal prints add a funky twist to any outfit and this season it’s all about combining and layering different prints! Celebs boasting the aztec/tribal print trend feature the likes of Mary-Kate Olsen, Kim Kardashian and Lauren Conrad and these A list stars love to mix tribal motifs with plaids and stripes.

Colour Blocking

Hot, bold and neon colours are the way to go for summer 2012 as we thankfully wave goodbye to those winter blues. Beautifully bold shades get mixed up with rainbowy hues. Think intense and fresh fuchsia pinks, aqua blues and watermelons. Work these colours head to toe or create layers in colour blocks. Re-vamp your wardrobe and get the hottest of brights to be at the top of the trend. Toxic shocking colours to make heads turn is the theme; wear with oversized sunglasses and a floaty printed scarf for that over the top 1950s style glamour. Why not try some print tights to ease into the trend?

Pastels

This one was made for you girly girls out there! If one side of the colour trend spectrum for SS12 was neon brights and striking prints, the other side was something much more soft and subtle…pastels. Consider it a paler take on the hot colour blocking trend. More is more when it comes to pastels think baby and lavender with delicate mint and lemon, soft accents and relaxed shapes are sure set to make this season seriously sweet. Try one of the pastel coloured blouses for ultimate feminine style.

Amy Childs, famous for her role in reality TV show ‘The Only Way is Essex’ was spotted in California earlier this week wearing a pair of SoYouShoes high heels.

The star, who was photographed on a day out in California, is currently in the state filming scenes for her new Channel 5 show, ‘It’s All About Amy’, and was photographed wearing a pair of SoYouShoes heels as she ran errands during her day.

The shoes, which were a pair of the footwear retailer’s popular extra high heel suede courts, were in a tan colour that matched the autumnal weather perfectly. Amy also colour-coded her outfit with some high-waist suede hot pants, a brown polo neck top and brown tights, as well as wearing a thin red belt to match her hair colour.

Amy was seen heading for Mel’s Drive-in on Sunset Boulevard, where she sat down for something to eat before stopping by a local store to do some shopping. Later in the day, Amy, still sporting her SoYouShoes heels, visited a salon to top up her sun-kissed winter tan before heading home.

“We just love that Amy Childs wears our shoes,” said Katie Good of SoYouShoes. “Our high heel courts are incredibly popular, but we expect Amy Childs’ fans will be flocking to our online store to get themselves a similar pair now.

“The heels are just £30 and, like all of our shoes, are incredibly comfortable to wear in all situations, whether it’s on a night out or just when wandering around town.”

To follow in the footsteps of Amy Childs, shoppers can head for the footwear retailer’s online shop where they can buy shoes in a similar style. Customers can also purchase shoes and boots in the style of other celebrities, such as Alexa Chung, Cheryl Cold, Pixie Lott and Katy Perry.

Ladies looking for shoes to wear to any upcoming Christmas parties should check out the new arrivals at online footwear shop SoYouShoes, which currently has hundreds of new shoes available to buy in time for Christmas.

Top fashion magazines’ choice of the biggest current trend in footwear, wedge heel sandals, are also currently among the best-sellers at online fashion footwear retailer SoYouShoes.

Boasting a wedge heel which is designed to give women a few vital extra inches, yet still be comfortable enough to wear all day – or night – long, these sandals have been singled out by Company magazine as one of the hottest styles for the autumn season.

“They’re the logical successor to the more strappy, summery styles which have dominated the market so far this year,” said Katie Stevens from SoYouShoes.co.uk. “With a heel height that will help accentuate any woman’s leg shape, the new wedge-heeled ladies shoes are, however, much more practical and better suited to the sometimes slippery underfoot conditions which we encounter as the leaves start to fall.

“This is one reason why Company magazine put the cross-strap wedge heeled sandal among its list of the most desirable summer accessories. They’re fashionable enough to wear to the most prestigious party, yet also practical enough to allow the wearer to keep their footing in those tricky conditions encountered in a festival field.”

A more flamboyant design of the same shoe, in a floral pattern, also available from SoYouShoes.co.uk, was featured in Cosmopolitan magazine’s August issue in a guide to the latest fashion shoes online.

“SoYouShoes is dedicated to letting our customers add the latest footwear trends to their wardrobe for a realistic price,” said Katie Stevens. “We know our customers want to be able to buy the latest designs, and that they look to magazines such as Cosmo and Company for their inspiration.

“That’s why we set out to make it easy for them to buy the most up-to-date women’s shoes online. And because we fully understand how trends vary with the seasons, so our buyers keep an eye on all the designs featured in the leading magazines, so that they can offer them to our faithful and fashionable customers.”

This season ugg boots look set to be more popular than ever in the United Kingdom. Over the past 5 years the UK has adopted the fluffy foot trend that spent the previous decade spreading throughout the United State and the previous 100 years as an integral part of Australia culture. Ugg boots UK rise to popularity was initially met with a number of hurdles which prevented the trend from really growing in the UK like they have in other regions, this year however the barriers are gone allowing uggs to once again spread like wildfire.

When they were first introduced to the UK a number of years ago ugg boots lacked the support of the UK’s fashion elite and unlike the United States ugg boots were not backed by celebrities. This was the first thing to change with the fashion savvy backing the boots. The fashion status of ugg boots remains a polarising topic but even those staunchly fighting against the fashion status of ugg boots were won over by their comfort. The message “Don’t wear them in public but oh my god you must try them, I never take them off when I’m at home” is about as bad as it got. Thanks to the pull modern fashion hubs have online modern trends like ugg boots quickly found a home amongst the fashion savvy and eventually the pages of Celebrity tabloids.

So ugg boots were hot fashion in the UK for the first time but still out of reach of many thanks in no part to very heavy price tags. £200+ for a pair of boots our US counterparts were paying less than £100 for. Surely VAT and import taxes were not the only reason for such a large difference? Ugg boots are always going to be expensive; the leathers are comfortable but also extremely rare and harder and harder to come by. Now though competition from brands like EMU and Whooga ugg boots is helping to lower prices and introduce options to consumers. Youtubers with hundreds of thousands of subscribers were the first to test these competitors and usually recommend them on the basis of equal of better comfort at vastly more affordable prices.

So ugg boots were finally affordable, popular and due to a terribly cold winter in very high demand but they were still not going to spread like wildfire. Over the years Google has battled counterfeiters and done a pretty decent job of sending shoppers to legitimate vendors. During 2009 and the better part of 2010, when more and more consumers began to look online to do their shopping the counterfeiters had taken over many of the leading Google pages and were taking millions of dollars from consumers everyday for either poor quality counterfeit boots, or simply charging the customer’s credit card with no intention of ever sending boots. The UK police force and Google haven’t completely eradicated the problem but it is now next to nonexistent and consumers have become also become savvier.

One of the more unusual problems affecting ugg boots stems from availability. When the boots became popular, no one really predicted just how popular they would become and when the shoppers were ready to try on a pair no one had any left. Sure more were on the way but back orders and poor availability of leathers meant we would be waiting until summer until boots arrived. This year manufacturers appear to be ready for UK season but we won’t really know until the temperature plummets. Either way ugg boots look set to become an integral part of our winter fashion staples.

Missguided.co.uk, online women’s clothing shop and winner of a coveted Drapers Retail Award 2011, has brought satin from the autumn and winter catwalk shows to its customers.

This year’s autumn and winter catwalk shows revealed that the latest must-have fabric is satin, with the likes of New York designers Altuzarra and Alexander Wang, established designer Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and Burberry Prorsum all using it in their iconic shows.

Satin was used to reinvent maxi dresses, party dresses and evening dresses in an array of eye-popping colours, including turquoise, reds, oranges and yellows. Satin evening dresses hung gracefully to the floor, flowing as the models glided down the catwalks, while the same material was used to create billowing blouses and asymmetric vests to add a feminine touch to tailored suits.

Missguided has created its own sumptuous satin collection, including the must-have Tamera vest in navy, burnt orange and classic champagne – a wardrobe item to take any woman effortlessly from day to night and from summer to autumn.

Also from the catwalk, Missguided.co.uk bring their customers must-have handbags including across the shoulder numbers for a sophisticated daytime look, satchels for modern take on the vintage trend, patent leather shoppers for glamorous shopaholics and of course cute envelope clutch bags to set-off those perfect party dresses.

Missguided offers customers the chance to be at the cutting edge of fashion by offering celebrity style steals and catwalk-inspired collections at affordable prices. From an array of dresses, skirts, trousers, tops and more, to the latest in irresistible accessories such as chunky jewellery, beautiful bags and fashionable and functional brogues.
