> ” Online retail startups that specialize in “private sales” of discount designer apparel are gaining traction in the U.S. and, armed with fresh venture capital, plan to branch into new businesses.
The companies, including Gilt Groupe, RueLaLa and HauteLook, have built a following with virally marketed, daily “members only” sales of limited merchandise. Short, intense sales — often just 36 hours — along with constant updates on which items are out of stock create a sense of urgency and excitement to buy.
Membership is free and generally requires little more than a name and email address. The sites gather members largely by word of mouth, limiting their audiences. Gilt now has 1.2 million members.”

> Fabrican is the creator of Spray-on Fabric. An instant, sprayable, non-woven fabric.
The original idea of spray-on fabric came from Manel Torres, a spanish designer with a wide international experience work in the fashion industry. The observation of the very long and time-consuming process in the traditional fashion industry was the starting point for Spray-on Fabric technology.
“There would be the possibility of adding individual touches to already manufactured garments, mending, hemming etc. Or the development of fragrance patches that would go on the garment rather than the skin. The technology has been developed for use in household, industrial, personal and healthcare, decorative and fashion applications using aerosol or spray-gun, and will soon be found in products available everywhere. ”
You can find more information about this new revolutionary technology at their website.
