Voonik Is Your New Personal Style Expert On The Web
The e-commerce world has been taken over by fashion and apparel websites which seem to sell every bit of available clothing under the sun at some very good prices! The pumping in of Venture Capital money in this segment of e-commerce has given rise to services which are paying close attention to style and modern clothing. However, the variety of clothes available on the Internet doesn’t solve the problem of whether they will look good on you or not. Shopping offline has this advantage, where you can try clothes and see how they look on you. Even though e-commerce websites are trying to solve the problem by developing virtual trial rooms among other things, the whole thing is probably tedious.
Chennai based Voonik is a startup which is trying to solve the problem of personalization. Voonik is basically a service which aims to provide users with the right clothes and accessories for the right occasions tailored to personal parameters like Body type, skin color and your height. The startup has professional stylists who act as curators to suggest the best piece of clothing for you.
Once you sign up, you are asked about the type of clothes that you would like to select. These types range from all conceivable occasions like business meetings to relaxed party wear. From there you will be asked to feed in the 3 main parameters like body type, skin color and height. Once this is done, you will see a list of suggestions populating your feed. Each clothing item is picked by individual stylists. After making your choice, you are then shown the price and are given an option to either like it or dislike it. If you like it, it gets saved in your wishlist and if not, the algorithm learns your choices and comes up with better suggestions. There is also an option to buy the piece of clothing.
Voonik by itself doesn’t deal with the actual e-commerce part. All their suggestions are picked up from existing e-commerce partners eg. Fashionara in my case. You are shown all the different angles of how the garment looks. Besides this, you are also shown accessories and apparel that go well with your selection, thus making it easier for you to get everything you like from the same place.
I like how the website does its thing and it undoubtedly designed very well. Going through the whole selection procedure and the general user experience is very smooth. The service seems to be an interesting one purely on the basis of the initial time I spent on it.
Voonik has been founded by Sujayath Ali who serves as its CEO. Their team comprises 8 people who come from companies like Amazon, Zoho, HP Research labs, IBM and Freshdesk.
If you are looking for a curated selection of clothes and accessories on the Internet, you might want to give this a try.
