Fashion tech company Alta, inspired by the movie "Clueless," is expanding its styling tools by partnering with the brand Public School to integrate these tools into websites, according to TechCrunch. The company, founded by Jenny Wang, raised $11 million in a round led by Menlo Ventures last year. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech announced the finalists in its annual Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, and a new device called the Pocket Taco is available to turn a phone into a Game Boy, The Verge reported.
Alta allows users to create digital closets and virtually try on clothes using AI innovations, similar to the technology seen in "Clueless." The company's funding round last year included investments from models Jasmine Tookes and Karlie Kloss, Anthropics VC arm Anthology Fund, and Rent the Runway cofounder Jenny Fleiss, TechCrunch noted. Wang spoke with TechCrunch during New York Fashion Week about the company's expansion since the funding round.
