Just before Monica Danna set off for a recent trip to New York, she downloaded the Not for Tourist app onto her iPhone.

At $3.99, a hefty amount in the world of iPhone applications, NFT helped Danna and her friend, Maggie McDonald, map out shopping stops while in the Big Apple. The app directed them (via the phone’s internal GPS) to the nearby Jesse James boutique in the Greenwich Village area, where Danna found a scarf at an affordable $30 and McDonald bought a holiday party dress for just $50. The dress was on sale, marked down from $200.

"I’m always looking for new stores when I travel," said Danna, a Houston publicist who writes the CosmoPolitician blog. "It was short and to the point. And it was well worth the money."

Welcome to the new world of fashion and shopping.

Looking for new shoes? There’s an app for it. Need a new holiday hairdo? There’s an app for that, too.

Fashion brands, designers, stylists and retailers are quickly finding a new audience, and possibly new customers, through downloadable apps.

With a few clicks, the iPhone user can access thousands of applications through iTunes that can be downloaded free or starting at 99 cents. They currently are available only for iPhones.

In recent months, designers Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Norma Kamali and Gucci and a host of fashion magazines have launched iPhone apps. Just this month, GQ magazine launched an app for $1.99 to coincide with the release of its Man of the Year issue, featuring President Barack Obama. The entire issue is available through the app.

Designer Kimora Lee Simmons’ free Baby Phat Cam app is one of the more interactive ones available to the fashion-conscious. It allows users to choose looks from Simmons’ collections and try them on virtually by uploading their own photos.

For the holidays, Shape magazine launched its Little Black Dress app ($1.99), which provides 12 different workouts designed to get users in shape for a variety of styles of black dresses for the holidays.

"Everyone has a little black dress and wants to look amazing in it," said the magazine’s deputy editor, Janet Lee.

Style.com, a major fashion site that features videos and photos of runway shows, along with trend reports, offers a free app that has been downloaded by more than 467,079 users since it was launched in August.

It, like most other fashion and beauty apps, can be found under the "lifestyle" menu in iTunes.
