Community Manager Simone McCarthy says,
Alana is a superior user experience for shoppers due to the recommendation feature powered by Artificial Intelligence which gets to know a shopper's style and so can serve up clothes that are to the shoppers taste. Chloe Markham , Head of Fashion at Alana says,
Developed with UCC's Prof Barry O' Sullivan , Alana uses a patent pending technology within its AI recommendation engine. The unique gossip algorithm will tell you when your favorites are available and will alert you when that perfect dress arrives in store. Prof O'Sullivan says,

Alana offers three distinct services to our customers:
We create styles and looks from which you can shop. You can choose to shop the whole look, items from the look or mix and match between looks.
We offer a multi-store pick up service meaning you can purchase items from multiple stores and will only ever pay one standard delivery rate of €3.99.
We also offer a bespoke virtual styling service. You can choose from any of our talented styling team and set up a virtual styling appointment. Here they will go through everything with you from budget, style, wardrobe decluttering, colours and more.
Backed by Serial Entrepreneurs Niamh Parker and Allan Beechinor a husband and wife team. They recognised the gap in the market for a multi-store delivery service. As a busy mother of four who loves fashion, Niamh had lost confidence in her style and her love for shopping as she did not have the time or the energy to go from shop to shop. Thus, Alana was created to allow the everyday woman with a busy lifestyle to buy back time. Alana is named after the couple's eight year old daughter Alannah in order to bring the children on the entrepreneurial journey with them.
Alana has a team of talented stylists based in Cork to New York ! However, the mindset has always been to benefit our community. We do not store stock in warehouses, instead we collect items from local stores with the aim to save the High Street. We hope to benefit the environment from reducing packaging due to our multi-store shopping and also to benefit the local economy. By purchasing the items from local stores means supporting jobs in each City. Our mission is to save the High Street and provide retailers of all sizes a platform to be noticed, and sell to the world
Alana is the stylish best friend you have always wanted. Our virtual styling sessions last one hour and cost just €35. Each appointment is completely tailored to the customer and the stylist of their choice will go through everything they want to discuss from style tips and tricks, colours, and seasons. Chloe Markham , Head of Fashion at Alana. Stylists are also supported by the recommendation system to help with the shopping and styling experience.
Alana is the future of fashion, cleverly combining style with technology. Through the use of AI, Alana delivers personalised recommendations to our customers based on their own individual taste. No more aimless scrolling on multiple fashion sites! explains Barry O'Sullivan , AI Advisor. As users interact with styled looks on the platform a user-specific profile is generated that forms the basis for making highly personalised recommendations of other looks and items they might wish to consider.
