Boxwish Launches To Bring Movies To Life
Posted: Wednesday 12 November, 2008
With the influence of today's movie stars and the prominence of fashion within films, consumers have a desire to emulate movie star looks without picking up the extortionate Hollywood price tag. Previously a time consuming and tedious task, this is now a possibility with the Boxwish team sourcing either an original item featured in a movie or a more cost effective high street alternative.
Members of Boxwish can contribute to the site by sharing their own knowledge and adding movie inspired products that they have spotted on the high street or online with other users. Furthermore, members can request assistance from the Boxwish community in finding clothing and accessories that they have seen at the movies.
Boxwish also incorporates a ‘Get The Look' feature, which enables shoppers to source multiple items worn by a specific celebrity in a movie to perfectly emulate their look. To coincide with the launch of Quantum of Solace on October 31st, Boxwish users can recreate Olga Kurylenko's Bond Girl look or Daniel Craig's suave Bond style by locating their on-screen outfits.
Tim Aikin, Founder of Boxwish said: "James Bond is the man every man wants to be and every woman wants to be with, by using Boxwish.com fans of the movie can recreate their looks either with original items featured in the movie or with look-a-like high street versions. Boxwish has an online community of users both spotting items for other users and requesting items themselves that they have seen.
"It can be so frustrating when you spend an entire Saturday trawling the shops for a specific item or to create a certain look that you have seen in a film and come home with nothing. Now you can find and buy the pieces at the click of a button and tell others where to find it too!"
