Fashion lovers around the world can now share their closets, find inspiration,
showcase wardrobe “must haves” and even shop online with the launch of NETROBE.COM. Prompting users with the simple question,
“What are you wearing?,” the new online social network tool makes it easy for
tastemakers and fans alike to immerse themselves in the very latest trends,
build outfits from what’s already in their closets, and receive peer-to-peer
feedback for the best new looks.
Designed by
company founder and CEO Christina Plakopita as an iOS app in 2011, the web
version was created in response to popular demand by loyal followers craving a social network to
showcase their style and share ideas. Netrobe.com not only provides all
of the features users loved on the original app, it also offers enhanced
functionality on a larger screen as part of a more integrated platform. As CEO
Christina Plakopita notes: “I wanted to create a globalized & digital forum
where fashion enthusiasts could unite, house, and share their love for
incredible style and inspiration.”

to their online closet, granting access to their wardrobe, wish lists, and
inspirations. The site allows the user to upload real-time street-style photos
as well as share inspirational art-directed fashion shoots found in magazines,
which enables users to capture tangible trends and look their best for every
