Yes! Yes! FINALLY. The Hunt is a fashion start-up that was created to help consumers find clothing, jewelry, and other items seen in images shared on blogs, photo apps, and social media platforms. Like, how every day I post images of fabulous outfits and have NO IDEA where they come from or how I can get them. Now Ashton Kutcher is going to help me! His company A-Grade Investors has contributed to the seed financing of the new company. ”While the visual Web provides for limitless discovery and inspiration, it creates a new problem, which is the impossibility of translating the discovery of a trend or style from a user-generated photo into a set of products that match the look and your budget,” the company said. Not a problem any more! The Hunt makes social media photos on Pinterest and Instagram “shoppable.” Now, let’s just hope it can identify and find me things like Gareth Pugh body armor and The Blonds beaded catsuits and not just Polo shirts and khaki pants from The Gap.
