Project Brief
iFrockUp, designed by innovative Brisbane-based publisher Direct Digital, is at the forefront of digital technology. It is the first fashion App in the world to link the iPhone, Facebook and Twitter in real time for rating fashion choices.
Direct Digital teamed up with mobile technology firm, Internetics, to bring iFrockUp to life. This app speaks to the target audience and combines mobile technology and social media in an appealing and intuitive way.
Using iFrockUp, you can countdown to special events and get your friends to ‘rate or hate’ your fashion choices through Facebook or Twitter. All votes are registered in a database that communicates with the App in real time. Dresses, hairstyles, shoes and bling are ranked according to their popularity within the App.
iFrockUp also lets you write notes on price or style, create shortlists and ‘top secret’ anything you don’t want friends to see or share. It's is designed for for fashion conscious iPhone/ iPod Touch users preparing for any special events such as balls, parties, formals and proms, and is suitable for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
