How many of us love affordable high fashion via luxury consignment shops? Well the great thing about fashion and technology intermixing is that we now have access to a lot more than before. The launch of websites such as www.cosignofthetimes ,  www.edoubletake.com and www.edropoff.com grant consumers the ability to participate in electronic auctions or simply purchase high dollar like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Alexander McQueen  from these vendors. This innovative idea of consignment shopping is great option for the individual who loves to stay lace with the finest, without breaking the bank. One can also sell their items to these vendors. This is how it works: a potential seller trusts one of these sites to take pictures of and post via their website; bags, jewelry, etc. to sell or auction. Consumers purchase or bid on these high dollar items for much cheaper than retail price. The company charges the original seller for its services, and the seller makes a profit from selling its goods. Technology plays a major role in all of these transactions. Take a  look at the snippet of the show House of Consignment to see how it works!

Peanut Butter and Jelly, socks and shoes, movies and 3-D glasses. Who would have thought that these things would go together? They now essentially depend on one another. Fashion and Technology are not too far down the list. This is considered their virtual meeting space where we investigate innovative fashion findings as they pertain to technology, and vice versa. The fact is fashion and technologies have a great deal of influence on the dynamics of consumers’ decisions in purchasing goods and services. Without technology there would be a very minimal means of fashion contingencies and the trends and inclinations of “what fashion is” would be outdated by the time it trickled down to those who are not celebrities or fashion gurus. Technology has a funny way of fraternizing with fashion. We may not think much about it, but fashion is everywhere we look. From the design of the computer tablets we use to the cases that we use to protect them. Follow me as I delve in to the integration of fashion and technology through research and analyses. And let’s not forget, THERE IS FASHION EVERYWHERE.
