Fashion Tech & Lifestyle Stuff I Couldn’t Stop Thinking About This Week
Oh! An interesting dating app is on the list.
This week in fashion tech and lifestyle, I found myself getting so hyped by few startups who aren’t just innovating for innovation’s sake but creating tools, experiences, and ecosystems that genuinely reshape how we live, express, and connect. Let me share with you.
1. Perfect Corp: Touchable AI in the Beauty Chair
Perfect Corp . . . best known for AR makeup try ons is bringing tactile AI diagnostics to physical retail in the U.S ??? Like how cool! Think of real time frizz analysis, skin scans, and even pore level recommendations at medspas and beauty counters. It’s one thing to see filters on your phone, but having AI scan your face and deliver tailored insights during a luxury facial? That’s the kind of high tech meets high touch experience that makes beauty feel both personal and precision based.
2. Known Dating: Where AI Is Your Matchmaker
I have been seeing Known on Tiktok, and as someone who is a romantic, and into love psychology . . . this is something I’m interested in. Started by Celeste Amadon, a Stanford dropout with vision and a very Gen Z understanding of intimacy, Known Dating is rethinking matchmaking. The app uses AI to vet and suggest matches, then hosts in person events with open bars and low pressure vibes across San Francisco. The concept is all about deepening organic connection in a world that’s feeling more artificially filtered than ever. And honestly? I’m all about finding romance.
3. NY Fashion Tech Lab 2025: B2B Today, B2C Tomorrow
Every year, the New York Fashion Tech Lab supports a new wave of womenled startups and the 2025 cohort is particularly exciting. The tech ranges from in store personalization tools to smarter circular retail systems. While these startups are still mostly B2B their innovations will shape what consumers feel in the fitting room, on the app, or through your next rental experience. It’s like getting a sneak peek at tomorrow’s closet.
