The exclusive membership platform Vivrelle, known for offering high-end goods for rent, revealed on Thursday the introduction of a cutting-edge AI personal styling tool named Ella in collaboration with fashion retailers Revolve and FWRD.
The unveiling signifies the fashion industry’s utilization of AI technology to enrich customer interactions, marking a pioneering effort where three retailers have united to provide a personalized AI experience. Revolve and FWRD cater to users seeking designer apparel, with Revolve also featuring pre-owned options.
Ella, the innovative tool, delivers personalized recommendations to users across the three platforms, assisting them in selecting items to either purchase or rent for enhancing their outfits. Users can seek advice on specific occasions like a bachelorette weekend or packing for a trip, with Ella scouring Vivrelle, FWRD, and Revolve to curate outfit suggestions that can be conveniently checked out on Vivrelle.
Through repeated use, Ella refines its suggestions, akin to seeking fashion advice from ChatGPT for a Miami girls’ weekend ensemble.
Blake Geffen, the CEO and co-founder of Vivrelle, expressed her vision for Ella to alleviate the stress associated with vacation packing and daily dressing decisions.
Geffen mentioned that Ella underwent a year-long development process before its launch and is part of the trio’s second AI tool. The initial collaboration among Vivrelle, Revolve, and FWRD introduced Complete the Look earlier this year, offering instant fashion suggestions to complement a customer’s cart contents during checkout. Ella, the latest addition, elevates the fashion recommendation experience to new heights.
