• Stylista.com is a collaborative social shopping platform that intends to shake up the way fashion is discovered, developed and delivered to consumers.
• We get it. Online shopping is a lot of things - Easy, Convenient and Reliable. But doesn't the Internet sometimes feel like one giant street with a ton of stores that carry a slight variety of the exact same brands, all right next door to each other? Like strolling through a mall of sameness, It's hard to find something unique, something special.
• So we've set out to challenge the system and offer designer-quality apparel at great and honest prices. No tricks. No middlemen taking their cut. No crazy brand markups. Just a new collection of fashion forward apparel launched each month at half the typical cost. No exceptions.
