Stitch Fix offers a personalized online styling service that provides curated fashion selections to clients, primarily targeting busy professionals and fashion enthusiasts. Clients begin by completing a style profile that includes their size, style preferences, and budget. Using this information, Stitch Fix's stylists, aided by algorithms, select clothing items and accessories tailored to each individual. These items are shipped directly to clients' homes, allowing them to try on the selections at their convenience. Clients only pay for what they choose to keep, while a styling fee is charged for each shipment, which can be credited towards purchases. Stitch Fix differentiates itself from competitors by combining a subscription-based model with direct sales and focusing on personalized service. The company's goal is to simplify the shopping experience and expand its offerings, including direct buy options and international markets.

The Floorr launched earlier this year to shake up the digital styling experience by empowering personal shoppers and stylists to manage and expand their businesses in an increasingly competitive environment. Available on the web and iOS devices, The Floorr offers tools for conducting sales, hosting tailored styling sessions, creating mood boards, and engaging in text or voice chats with clients, all in one place. The company recently introduced a new styling tool called “Styling Sessions,” allowing stylists to create complete outfit looks using products from The Floorr’s marketplace or by uploading images or taking pictures of in-store items on their phones. Additionally, The Floorr formally announced Thursday its $1.7 million pre-seed funding round, backed by Net-a-Porter co-founder and investor Carmen Busquets (who is also an adviser for The Floorr) and Nigora Tokhtabayeva, a jewelry designer and founder of Tabayer. Styling Sessions featureImage Credits: App Store ScreenshotSince beginning her career as a sales associate at Harrods in 2000 and later shifting to a leadership role for Net-a-Porter’s personal shopping service, founder Lupe Puerta has witnessed an increasing trend among luxury brands to adopt digital platforms to enhance the one-on-one styling experience. Virtual consultations and online styling services are common nowadays. For instance, companies like Next Level Wardrobe, Thread,and Wishi, among others, offer digital fashion services. Not to mention, the rising popularity of virtual try-on tech, AI-powered style assistants, and subscription boxes (Stitch Fix, Wantable and DailyLook) makes finding curated looks that much easier.Lupe PuertaImage Credits: The FloorrHowever, digital solutions for personal stylists, especially freelancers, remain relatively limited. “I wanted to create what my community needed in the form of an app by [helping] personal shoppers have the tools to really be agile and create beautiful content in one place and have that instant interaction with customers,” Puerta told TechCrunch. “Instead of creating PDFs, sending screenshots on WhatsApp, or sending an email, [The Floorr] has everything centralized in one place and gives them access to their business and analytics, allowing them to be more entrepreneurial.”Another tool available on the platform is a sales dashboard for stylists, which displays analytics like the total number of clicks, orders, items sold, and weekly/monthly earnings. Stylists and their clients have access to a wide selection of luxury items, thanks to partnerships with high-end retailers, such as Bergdorf Goodman, Browns, Chloé, Farfetch, Neiman Marcus, Net-a-Porter, Saks and SSense

Personalization has long been the holy grail of retail, with brands seeking to tailor the shopping experience to each customer’s unique needs and preferences. And you can’t spell “personalization in retail” without the two letters “A” and “I” — as in artificial intelligence. “AI has been part of our journey since day one,” Noah Zamansky, vice president of product and tech and client experience at online personal styling service Stitch Fix, told PYMNTS during a discussion for the When Chatbots Go Shopping 2025 Series. “We believe that at the heart of our experience is that magic we provide when science and our stylists come together.”

Stitch Fix Taps Ai To Redefine Its Business Model … And The Consumer’S Wardrobe

01  A lack of real-time inventory visibility and difficulties in accurately predicting shopper demand often result in overproduction, excess stock or critical shortages — all of which have a direct and detrimental impact on profitability. 02  GenAI is transforming inventory management by enabling accurate demand forecasting, optimized stock levels and streamlined replenishment processes. Solutions like Alloy.ai, Hypersonix and Maiven provide real-time tools that empower retailers to make data-driven decisions and respond swiftly to market changes. 03  If managing inventory is retail business managers’ top priority, delivering personalized shopping experiences is a close second. Offering consumers exactly what they want can drive sales, but it also demands precise control over stock levels to ensure a seamless and satisfying customer experience. Personalized offers fall flat without available inventory

Revolutionizing Retail: AI-Driven Personalization at Stitch Fix

Amid ongoing economic challenges, shoppers may be willing to spring for premium fashion service, but as Stitch Fix has seen, they need to know that they are going to be getting enough bang for their buck. These shoppers expect in-depth, personalized guidance, Stitch Fix CEO Matt Baer told analysts Tuesday (June 4) on a call discussing the online personal styling service’s third-quarter fiscal 2024 financial results. This need to step up the hands-on attention comes following the company’s 16% year-over-year decline in net revenue in the quarter as well as its 6% decrease in active clients. “Some of the areas that we’re focused on … [include how] our stylists continue to play a critical part in our value proposition, and something that our clients have told us is that they want to get to know the stylist behind their Fixes,” Baer said. “So, part of the reimagination of the client experience will also be working to make our stylists more central part of that experience, offering new touch points for clients to interact with stylists and vice versa.”

Stitch Fix, the online personal styling service, began its fiscal year 2025 with a clear vision to reinvigorate its business and return to growth by the end of FY 2026. Despite some challenges in its first-quarter financial performance, CEO Matt Baer said the company is making strategic moves to strengthen its market position by elevating client engagement, introducing a “freshness of inventory,” and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize its operations. “We’re delivering on our vision to be the most client-centric, personalized shopping experience,” Baer shared with analysts Tuesday (Dec. 10) during the first-quarter earnings call. “We’re reimagining our client experience, creating flexibility in our experience, and improving acquisition economics. We’re on track to successfully transform our business and return to growth by the end of FY 2026.”

As Stitch Fix takes a hit amid its ongoing transformation, the online personal styling service is using its comprehensive insights about its customers to drive loyalty going forward.The company shared in its second-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings results Monday (March 4) that net revenue was down 18% year over year as the company rethinks its business to improve its organizational infrastructure and adjust the user experience to best appeal to high-value customers.On a call with analysts, CEO Matt Baer noted that the key to its efforts to drive engagement is the brand’s extensive access to information about its shoppers.“On day zero, we know more about our client than many retailers could aspire to know about their clients over the entire course of their relationship with them,” Baer said. “We know their style preferences, we know their value orientation, and we can nail their fit as early as their very first transaction. And that’s an extremely powerful differentiator and asset that we have.”He added that as the company works toward its transformation, it intends to take that unique knowledge of the customer and “embed that within everything that we do.”Consumers want personalized retail experiences. For instance, the PYMNTS Intelligence report “Personalized Offers Are Powerful — but Too Often Off-Base,” which drew on responses from more than 2,500 U.S. consumers, found that 71% had received personalized offers and were interested in them and an additional 12% had not received personalized offers but were interested.Plus, the types of high-value customers that Stitch Fix is courting are the most likely to want personalized experiences. The study found that 89% of consumers who earn more than $100,000 a year were interested in receiving such offers.Lack of personalization, on the other hand, may contribute to customer dissatisfaction.“As I surveyed the overall retail landscape for apparel and accessories, it’s clear the customer is just not satisfied with the current optionality that they have for their shopping,” Baer said during the call
