In 2013, Chictopia held a social shopping event with American Apparel and Crossroads Trading Co. called “Shop it Like it’s Hot” in the SoMa District of San Francisco.[14] OverviewThe website is designed for users interested in fashion and looking to refine and showcase their personal style.[15] Users upload outfit photos, describe their physical traits, and connect to other users who share similar body types, complexion, and style. Users can get an idea of how clothes would look on themselves and how to style them in a relatable way, as opposed to fashion models.[15] Zhu has said she wants Chictopia to be what YouTube has been for filmmakers and what Myspace has been for musicians.[15][16][17] Teen Vogue named Chictopia "The Next Big Thing" shortly after its founding.[18][18] Nylon lists the website in its "Top 4 Style Sites."[19] Women's Wear Daily named Chictopia “Top six sites to watch”, along with Polyvore, Foursquare, and three others in 2010.[20]References1. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/fashion/weddings/13VOWS.html?_r=0 |title=Helen Zhu and Richard Ho |author=Rafkin, Louise |publisher=New York Times |date=June 11, 2010}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=https://techcrunch.com/2008/06/23/chictopia-takes-on-sugar-inc-with-everybody-is-ugly/ |title=Chictopia Takes On Sugar Inc With "Everybody is Ugly" |author=Kincaid, Jason |publisher=TechCrunch |date=July 23, 2008}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://voices.yahoo.com/chictopia-approach-fashion-6023936.html |title=Chictopia - a New Approach for Fashion |author=Slink, Missy |publisher=Yahoo |date=May 16, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140101061419/http://voices.yahoo.com/chictopia-approach-fashion-6023936.html |archivedate=2014-01-01 |df= }}{{unreliable source?|date=July 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.chictopia.com/about |title=Chictopia About |publisher=Chictopia}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.palatinate.org.uk/?p=34825 |title=How social media changed the face of fashion |author=Perry, Caroline |publisher=Palatinate |date=February 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.crunchbase.com/company/chictopia |title=Chictopia CrunchBase Profile |publisher=CrunchBase}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.linkedin.com/company/chictopia |title=Chictopia LinkedIn |publisher=LinkedIn}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://coe.berkeley.edu/news-center/publications/forefront/archive/forefront-spring-2009/alumni-update/tricks-of-the-trade-chictopia |title=Tricks of the trade: Chictopia |publisher=UC Berkeley Engineering Alumni Magazine |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140117022344/http://coe.berkeley.edu/news-center/publications/forefront/archive/forefront-spring-2009/alumni-update/tricks-of-the-trade-chictopia |archivedate=2014-01-17 |df= }} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.chictopia.com/about/helen |title=Helen Zhu About |publisher=Chictopia}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.chictopia.com/about/corinne |title=Corinne Chan About |publisher=Chictopia}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://mashable.com/2009/01/20/chictopia-american-apparel/ |title=Chictopia Chicks Become American Apparel Models |author=Van Grove, Jennifer |publisher=Mashable |date=January 20, 2009}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://jezebel.com/5135586/american-apparel-now-sponsoring-bloggers--porn-stars-nsfw |title=American Apparel Now Sponsoring Bloggers & Porn Stars (NSFW) |publisher=Jezebel |date=January 20, 2009}} 13. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.adrants.com/2009/01/american-apparel-hooks-up-with-chictopia.php |title=American Apparel Hooks Up With Chictopia Bloggers |author=Hall, Steve |publisher=Ad Rants |date=January 20, 2009}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Chictopia Presents: Shop It Like It's Hot|url=http://events.sfgate.com/san_francisco_ca/events/show/303991245-chictopia-presents-shop-it-like-its-hot|publisher=SF Gate}} 15. ^1 2 {{cite web|last=Taylor|first=Alana|title=Chictopia.com: Real People Can Be Models Too|url=http://mashable.com/2008/06/11/chictopia/|publisher=Mashable|date=June 11, 2008}} 16. ^{{cite web |url=http://lawofsuccess2.blogspot.com/2010/12/interview-with-helen-zhu.html |title=An Interview with Helen Zhu |author=Haegwan, Kim |publisher=Laws of Success 2.0 |date=August 2, 2010}} 17. ^{{cite web |url=http://heartifb.com/2009/08/28/chictopia-now-an-interview-with-helen-zhu/ |title=Chictopia Now : An interview with Helen Zhu |author=Jacob, Jennine |publisher=Independent Fashion Bloggers}} 18. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.teenvogue.com/blog/teen-vogue-daily/2008/07/next-big-thing-snap-to-it.html |title=Next Big Thing: Snap to It |publisher=Teen Vogue |date=July 16, 2008}} 19. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/38005 |title=Nylon Loves Chictopia |publisher=Nylon |date=October 27, 2008}} 20. ^{{cite web|last=Corcoran|first=Cate|title=Sites to Friend in 2010|url=http://www.wwd.com/media-news/media-features/sites-to-friend-in-2010-2433054|publisher=Women's Wear Daily}} External links
