Are you interested in transforming 1 of the major polluting industries of the world (fashion) through technology? Are you ready to join our purpose to help create a positive impact on mental well-being & sustainability?
Contour Lab is an early-stage fashion tech start-up from Belgium. Our goal is to transform online (clothing) shopping and to support fashion brands in understanding & serving their customers better- to avoid disappointments (and thus often a lower self-confidence) and return-hassles for end-consumers. Through AI technology, our aim is to provide e-commerce players an AI replica of a human shop advisor, recommending products that match the customer’s body shape, color palette, size and preference, so we can reproduce the offline shopping experience with a shop advisor in the online world. This will lower return rates at the B2B customer, drive conversion and make them the trusted advisor for their clients.
