Trends all spur from inspiration.

Inspiration.

It can come from anywhere.

From anything.

From anyone.

Everyone has their own unique style and culture. How we display it varies from person to person. One's find can become the source of another's realization.

The yawn of yesterday may become the talk of tomorrow. The outsider could blossom into the mainstream.

At Chictini, we encourage everyone to share their interests, their style, their opinion, and more importantly their expression.

You don't have to be the most fashionable or artistic person in the world - we encourage you to be yourself and find what you like and what you don't. We encourage you to share your collections, your styles, and what makes you say "this is me." Whether you're a designer, a stylist, a fashionista, an artist, or simply just someone looking...everyone is welcomed at Chictini to show off who they are and what they represent.

We built this site simply not to be a another shopping or style site, but as an environment for promoting and expressing the styles and products that define you.

Our end goal is simple: that by accumulating the ideas and items we each feel passionate about (or maybe just need an opinion on), we'll all get a little more inspired...

What you do with that inspiration is up to you.

History
Chictini was started as a humble site nearly two years ago as a way to find out what the local Brooklyn scene was finding hip. No gimmicks, no wordy pitches. Chictini was just a simple site in which people voted "chic" or "weak" on clothes and art pieces, and where people boasted their fashion-savvy.

Down the road, it would eventually grow into something much unexpectedly bigger and beyond than its local boundaries.

With members now in over 100 countries in fields ranging from designers to rockstars, from common midwestern folk to socialites, Chictini has brought together a community with different agendas and personalities, all with the common link of contributing to an overall consumer knowledge of different styles.

What started as a means of hipsters promoting their works and getting second-opinions on products, Chictini now allows designers to specifically target a fashion-focused demographic and get a better grasp on a more profitable market, and allow all users to inspire one another with their personal styles. Chictini is not only just a social marketplace, but now a full-fledged social network as well where users can share content in media and exchange style advice. On Chictini, members are recognized for being trendspotters and predicting what's hot on the scene.

And this is only the beginning. Each day we are developing new and cooler features that we're sure you'll like.
