Amazon is preparing to open its first-ever physical clothing store with Amazon Style and it is set to arrive in The Americana at Brand in Los Angeles later this year. The first-of-its-kind brick-and-mortar store from Amazon is fueled by a high-tech experience, hundreds of brands chosen by fashion creators and feedback from millions of customers. With an app, shoppers will be able to choose an item, size and color, and have it sent to a pickup counter or fitting room.
Notably, Amazon Style stores will have the capacity to offer double the number of styles of traditional stores. Thanks to an artificial intelligence algorithm, Amazon will also be able to make product recommendations to shoppers based on items they have already selected.
