Zalando Inaugurates Virtual Store in Madrid

In September 2019, Zalando, the German e-commerce company, announced the opening of virtual pop-up store in Madrid, Spain. Featuring no physical clothes, customers will be able to explore the brand’s entire collection in the form of virtual projections. To personalize the shopping experience, the retailer will scan shoppers as they enter the store and collect data on their body dimensions. Based on this data, Zalando will be able to project any garment from its catalogue onto the customers’ body, responding according to their movement. The company aims at elevating customer engagement through its virtual fitting room solution and if successful, the retailer plans on expanding its offering across the continent.

Rising Acceptance of Smart Dressing Rooms to Favor Market Growth

Smart dressing rooms customize and personalize the purchase process for shoppers through interactive mirrors. Using RFID tags, these mirrors provide customers all the relevant information of the item they wish to buy. Several retail and fashion brands are integrating this technology at their stores owing to its efficiency. For instance, Neiman Marcus has deployed its smart dresser called “Memory Mirror” at its outlet in San Francisco, where customers can try on clothes once, record videos and take photos from various angles, and choose the item that best fits their body. Similarly, at its store in New York, Ralph Lauren has installed an interactive mirror, which recommends accessories and clothes to customers based on what they are trying on. Smart mirrors in dressing rooms are, therefore, advancing VFR technology in the fashion industry.
