If you are a street style-lover who is consistently inspired by the clothes and accessories worn by other people, then you will love the Flair Fashiontag app. The innovative style app, created by agency Duval Guillaume, Brussels, for the Belgium fashion magazine Flair, is a handy little tool that allows users to tag stylish outfits, not friends, on Facebook.
To use the Flair Fashiontag app, you just have to 'Like' the magazine's Facebook page. Once you have access to the application, you can tag your friends' clothing and accessories. Once you tag something, a message is posted on your friend's Facebook wall that asks her where she purchased the items she is wearing in the photo. What's more, each Flair Fashiontag will become part of a Facebook gallery, and every week Flair will choose the best tags to feature in the magazine itself.
