No the Olsen Twins and Nicky Hilton aren’t teaming up to announce a startup to find the hottest parties in town. They’re providing feeds for Jon Alagem’s new startup Trendabl.
Trendabl launched yesterday and is being likened to an Instagram for the fashion sect. Like Instagram, users can take photos, and upload and tag images on their free mobile app. They can also share pictures with filters too. However it’s all set around a fashion theme. Users can share their fashion feeds with other users or visit feeds of other users.
To launch Trendabl Alagem was able to recruit celebrities including; Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Nicky Hilton, designer Michael Koors, Diane von Frustenberg, Barney’s New York and more. These celebrities, designers and upscale stores will provide their own feed of photos and fashions for users to enjoy.
More after the break
Alagem told the San Francisco Chronicle that he was able to leverage some of his personal contacts who in turn introduced him to different designers, magazine heads and celebrities who said they became excited about the platform and it’s ability to tag and source mobile fashion specific photos.
Trendabl launched out of Alagem’s New York apartment and for now only on the iPhone but Alagem already has plans for Android and other mobile platforms.
