An App in a Day!  Dressed to Code: Glamour’s Fashion Hackathon

This Saturday I attended my first hackathon at General Assembly hosted by Glamour Editor in Chief Cindi Leive and CEO of CFDA Steven Kolb. Teams were challenged to create a game/app/tool that engage fashionistas around shopping, street style, or sharing outfit ideas in 11 hours.

I worked with two developers and and an interactive designer to develop my concept “ShopBook.” Shopbook is as responsive web app that allows people to create a contact list of friends and family and their sizes, favorite brands, occasions/birthdays and wish lists.

At the end of the day we demonstrated the app to a technology professionals and designers including Deena Varshavskaya ( Founder & CEO, Wanelo), Heather Marie (Founder, 72Lux), Rebecca Mindkoff (Fashion Designer) and Rus Yusupov (Co-founder & Creative Director, Vine).
