Social Media For The Fashion-Conscious: Chicisimo Chalks Up $800k In Angel Funding

Fashion -- as the saying goes -- never goes out of style, and that basic idea is bringing a rush of investment to online startups that want to hook into the colliding worlds of clothing and consumerism with an engaging social twist. One of the latest is Chicisimo?--?a social media site for fashionistas to post and vote on pictures of their latest looks, and then buy the look for themselves -- which today is announcing that it's picked up a seed round of $800,000 from a list of angel investors including VitaminaK, a backer of another e-commerce upstart, Alice.com. The news comes as Spain-based Chicisimo exits a long stint in beta mode, which saw the site over the last two years expand to cover seven languages -- Italian, German, French, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and English. Chicisimo currently has 127,000 active users, with the average time spent on the site per user at 11 minutes.
