J. Crew, Mytheresa and e.l.f. brands launch Apple Vision Pro apps



Fashion, luxury and cosmetics brands are among the 600 apps headed to the Apple Vision Pro.

Obsess is announcing that it partnered with the fashion brand J.Crew, cosmetics firm Mytheresa and luxury brand e.l.f. Cosmetics to launch Apple Vision Pro apps today.

J.Crew and visionOS developer Obsess have created a virtual closet experience for the new mixed reality headset debuting from Apple today. The J.Crew Virtual Closet blends digital content with the physical world in spatial experiences.

The app lets people shop for J.Crew products in an interactive, ultra-high-definition 3D environment. The J.Crew Virtual Closet utilizes SharePlay, a set of features for shared experiences while on a FaceTime call, to chat with J.Crew’s expert stylists or host group calls to get others’ opinions on looks.

In visionOS, J.Crew Virtual Closet users can explore a curated selection of the brand’s products while also being able to examine the texture and quality of the materials at higher magnification than ever before. Through the app, users can use intuitive hand and eye movements to browse a selection of J.Crew items, and mix and match pieces in order to create an ideal outfit for any occasion and see how it looks on their personal in-app mannequin. The app also features realistic background scenes that will inspire users to both build a new wardrobe and update their existing one.

“This groundbreaking experience for Apple Vision Pro is setting a new standard for shopping for fashion in the era of spatial computing,” said Neha Singh, CEO of Obsess, in a statement. “The ability to create outfit combinations for different occasions interactively and at a life-size scale in the J.Crew Virtual Closet app is a novel e-commerce utility. In addition, the ability for a J.Crew stylist to style outfits remotely with a customer via SharePlay is the most advanced form of digital clienteling available today.”

J.Crew Virtual Closet for Apple Vision Pro can be downloaded for free on the App Store in visionOS, accessible only via Apple Vision Pro. Styling appointments will be available to book starting end of February.
