Examples of Israel Fashion Tech

1. WiShi – An acronym for “Wear It, Share It,” WiShi is an online crowdstyling engine that TechCrunch named a startup to watch and the first fashion tech company to receive funding from an Israeli investor.
2. Awear Solutions an application and unique patent-pending modules enabling users to precisely identify exactly what someone is wearing from up to 30 feet away. *The recording explaining Awear was not the highest quality so we chose to share their teaser video.
