Does being fashion obsessed require us to be technologically apt? Internet juggernaut Google seems to think so. Their newly released iPad application Google Catalogues proves it. The multifaceted app lets users browse digital versions of apparel, beauty, jewellery, and home décor catalogues. Users can also find products in nearby stores, discover new brands, and receive notifications when new products from their favourite labels arrive in store. What can’t Google do?

Fortunately for us, there are a number of fashion apps making their way to the market that should do more than satisfy.
