Amazon.com Inc. has announced its getting into the fashion retail industry with its first Amazon Style store, which is a new physical store concept that infused with technology ranging from QR codes to artificial intelligence, touchscreens and virtual queues.<\/p>\n

The first Amazon Style store is set to open at The Americana at Brand shopping mall in Los Angeles sometime this year, when it will become the first Amazon-branded physical apparel store.<\/p>\n

As Reuters reported<\/a>, Amazon Style will be packed to the rafters with tech designed to aid shoppers by making it easier to find, try on, and pay for items.<\/p>\n

While the store will have traditional clothes racks, each one will feature a QR code that customers can scan to check for available colors, sizes, customer ratings and product information. They can then just hit a button on their smartphone app and the items they choose will be sent to a fitting room, meaning there\u2019s no need for the customer to gather all of the items they want to try themselves.<\/p>\n

To access a fitting room customers need to join a virtual queue using the Amazon app, which will notify them when it\u2019s ready to use. By the time they arrive, their selected items will be waiting for them inside to try on. In addition, Amazon said it will also send some additional items into the fitting room that its AI algorithms pick out for each customer, based on the preferences they have shown. Shoppers can also fill out a survey about their style preferences to assist the algorithms.<\/p>\n

In another neat touch, the fitting rooms also contain touchscreens allowing customers to browse further and have yet more items sent for them to try.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a magic closet with seemingly endless selection,\u201d Amazon Managing Director Simoina Vasen told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s use of technology notably promises to kill one of the major pain points of shopping \u2013 having to quickly get dressed again to dash out of the fitting room to try another size.<\/p>\n

Once the customer is done browsing items, they can opt to purchase the items there and then or alternatively, add them to a wish list and buy at a later date. It goes without saying that Amazon Style also supports Amazon One, which is the company\u2019s touchless payment tech that allows users to pay just by showing the palm of their hand as verification.<\/p>\n

Amazon claims the 30,000 square foot Amazon Style will be more space-efficient than the existing fashion stores of comparable size, with \u201cdouble the number of styles\u201d available.<\/p>\n

While the store is heavily reliant on automation, Amazon said it will still have human employees who will focus on bringing items to fitting rooms, customer service and managing inventory.<\/p>\n
