3. Covet Fashion
Covet Fashion is a brand-new shopping app founded by Rachel Zoe and marketing itself as a fashion game.

4. Qloo
Qloo is a one-of-a-kind app that helps you not only shop cool, rising fashion brands, but also educates you on what other aspects of shopping and culture you will love. For example, if you are obsessed with J.Crew, Qloo can tell you what cities in the world to visit based on that taste profile.
