F-Alert

What it is

Fashion, in one small space.

F-Alert is a groundbreaking project in the world of fashion and modelling. It brings fashion designers into one small space where all they need is their phone, data, designs and a small entry fee.

It is an AI-driven app that suggests designs for men and women, in Nigeria and abroad. Clients can have their clothes sewn through the app, or take the design to another designer. You do not have to see your tailor before you get your clothes, and you can compare prices and profiles to choose who gets your order.

F-Alert is owned by Alert Connect Ltd and built with fashion partners Annmade Couture and BKS.

Three things F-Alert does.

Registers six kinds of users

Models, fashion designers, fashion clients, model managers, fabric dealers and trainees.

Creates downloadable designs

Designs can be shown on the body picture a user uploads, or downloaded on their own.

Connects people

Matches clients with designers, trainees and models by location, past work, delivery time and reviews.

Who is on F-Alert.

Six kinds of users, each with their own dashboard and special tools.

Fashion designers

Show designs and works, receive orders, collect reviews, post adverts and vacancies, sell fabrics and finished work, and share videos.

Fashion clients

Enter measurements, pick or upload designs, upload body pictures and get fitted designs to sew or to use for occasions and modelling.

Models

Show their looks in an open gallery, list past jobs, and get designs for modelling and personal business.

Model managers

Fabric and material dealers

List the fabrics they sell and receive orders from designers and anyone else.

Trainees

Learn fashion skills from designers nearby, look for jobs, and share a CV and requests.

Everyone on F-Alert also gets six common tools: advert, gallery (personal designs and body pictures), measurements, connect, wallet and downloads. Fashion designers, models and trainees can be viewed by everyone, and a paid connection lets you contact them directly.
