Want to know where that floral shirt is from? There's an app for that!

If you thought Cher Horowitz’s rotating wardrobe on Clueless was the height of fashionable technology, think again.

A London-based company has developed an app that means you no longer have to pluck up the courage to ask a stranger where they got their incredible floral shirt from.

All you need to do is take a sneaky snap of an item of clothing you like, a piece of fabric or a page from a magazine, and the ASAP54 app searches for the item in its database using visual recognition technology.

If it’s unable to find an exact match, the clothes-finder app will suggest similar items as well as recruiting the help of a team of stylists.

The creator of ASAP54, dubbed the ‘Shazaam of fashion’, said the app was born out of frustration of not being able to find a pair of Chanel sunglasses she’d seen on someone.

“I was also looking for a simple way to be connected to what my friends and muses were coveting. I loved the idea of a sneaky peek into other people’s fashion searchers that I can turn to for inspiration,” Daniela Cecilio said.

Over 150 retailers are already on board with the app, including Net-a-Porter, Topshop, Barneys and Forever 21, who earn a commission on sales.

ASAP54, which was officially launched this week, is available for download here.
