What is Sense of Fashion all about?
Sense of Fashion is an online home for independent fashion, offering a place where anyone who's into indie fashion - from designers to fashionistas and from street-fashion bloggers to fashion students - can show off their creations, personal style and style picks, where you can easily sell, shop, interact, influence and be inspired.
For designers, Sense of Fashion provides an online shop with a live clientèle base and access to clear and open communication with buyers, fans and other designers. For trendsetters and fashion fans we provide a stage to show off their original styles, favorite designers and shopping decisions. For shoppers, this will be the biggest gallery and shop for independent fashion, including vintage and second hand, but most importantly one-of originals and new unique designs.
With special features like Fashion Emergency and total freedom of interaction on the website we're hoping we created a realistic and meaningful reflection of the indie fashion scene we love so much.
How do I sell my designs or items on Sense of Fashion?
Selling fashion items on Sense of Fashion is easy!

Now, to sell an item on your page:
- Click on the Sell links anywhere in the site, in your profile or in the website top navigation (under the website logo).
- You've reached our upload page, where you browse and upload photos of items you'd like to sell.
Notice that the first time you'll reach this upload items for sale page, you'll be asked to enter your paypal account, so make sure you have one or go create a new paypal account (this takes just a minute).
- Once you've uploaded photos, you'll be asked to add details on each photo, such as the price of the item you're selling, a full description of it, shipping cost and destinations etc.
- Save details and you're done, your items will appear with a price label on your Sense of Fashion page, and an Add to Cart button for each item.
Uploading photos for show off is free on Sense of Fashion, and listing items for sale is also free for now. When someone buys an item from you, Sense of Fashion will collect a sales commission of 15% per item sold (starting July 1. If you've signed up to SOF before July 1, you'll pay only 3% commission for 6 months, untill January 1, 2011).
These terms may be subject to change over time, be sure to check our website Terms of Service.
What happens if I've showed off an item but now I want to sell it, Can I?
Of course you can :)
Go to the specific page of the item you now would like to sell.
Right above the photo you'll see a little icon with a link: Sell This. Click this button and you'll reach the item edit page, where you can add all details necessary for selling an item on Sense of Fashion (price, shipping destinations and cost etc).
Once you've saved these details, other Sense of Fashion users and visitors will see that your item is for sale, and it will appear in shopping search lists on the site.
What is a Wardrobe Emergency?
Everyone knows what a wardrobe emergency is - when you just can't decide on your own and you need more eyes and opinions to help. Sense of Fashion's Wardrobe Emergency feature lets you put up those dilemmas for your friends and contacts to vote on.
Click on the Wardrobe Emergency link in your Sense of Fashion page, click the Create New Emergency button, and upload one or more option you're debating, the question at hand and your deadline for answers.
Once you save your Wardrobe Emergencies, your contacts will be immediately informed that you need help, and will come to vote on the question you presented.
When you view your own page on Sense of Fashion, results of your latest Wardrobe Emergency will appear for your convenience on the right hand column.
What is the Got It At... button?
It's lets you tell others where you got the items you're showing! It's a way to easily answer the ever repeating question: "Where did you get that?"
When you upload photos to Sense of Fashion you can add little tags or notes on the photo itself, and link them to the designer on Sense of Fashion, a shop or friend you got it from.
To add the Got It At tags:
- Go to any of your item pages.
- Click the Got I At... button above your photo.
- Click the area in your photo you would like to tag. Adjust the tag square according to your needs, add text and a link (make sure to use http:// for outside links) and click Save.
- To link to another user on Sense of Fashion, just write their user name in the link field, and the link to their page will be created automatically.
- Once you've finished editing and tagging just click Done and that's it!
Next time someone visits this item you've tagged, they will see the tag and link while they roll over the photo.
