MADE FASHION WEEK MADE to showcase design innovation
MADE to partner art and commerce
MADE to promote creativity across established and emerging platforms
MADE to support the growth of New York’s fashion community

New York, NY – When guests attend fashion shows or presentations at MADE Fashion Week with the MADE app on their mobile device, they will instantly receive images of looks as the models walk the runway. Further, users can make notes, tweet images and curate a custom look-book that can be e-mailed in real-time, enabling designers to instantly extend the reach of their designs beyond the runway. This app enables designers’ looks to stand the test of time and fosters commerce into buying season – and beyond.

Viewers watching MADE shows over Livestream on MilkMade.com can also enjoy the same benefits and features, since Sonic Notifyʼs technology, which is triggered by soundless audio signals, will also send content of the app through the userʼs home computer.

The MADE app will also include a show schedule, bios, contact and sales information for each MADE Designer. The app will be available for download on MilkMade.com, the Apple store and the Android Market Site on February 6th 2012.
