We all have our own little, hidden desires, now realized through the empowering engine of the Internet. Thanks to the power of Looklet.com, even the most introverted of fashion observers can dabble in the art of styling their own looks.

An excellent update of the age-old paper doll merges with the latest looks from the hottest collections, Looklet.com offers a bevy of fresh-faced models in various poses and facial expressions. Users can also choose from over 60 sets to either inspire or frame their fabulous fashion creations. There is no end to the combinations that are enough to get any user excited even before they hit the virtual goldmine of a wardrobe that awaits them.

From stark, white backgrounds to fully detailed scenes, the plethora to choose from is astounding. Constantly being updated, the site has fashionaholics coming back for new places to pose. The website’s latest addition is a dark cemetery to celebrate Halloween.

However, the true joy behind this beta website is the thousands of designer duds that linger in the clickable crevices. Whether you want to deck your chosen model head to foot in your favorite designer or you prefer to dress by category, the nifty navigation bar allows for any creative process you might follow. They’ve even organized all your choices by collection or materials used. With over 15 categories to sift through and experiment with, everyone with a computer and access to the internet can instantly transform into the world’s best equipped stylist. According to the creators’ website, “this is fashion in a way the world has never seen before.” Looklet.com is fast becoming the most pivotal place for people who love fashion to meet, compare looks and notes, and engage in the latest from the top designers of the world.

Apart from providing a tantalizing taste into haute couture, Looklet.com has also begun fostering a sense of community for its thousands of daily users. The powers that be, behind the website feature a user who has caught their eye with a continuous show of style. One such featured virtu-stylist is Manila’s own fashion savant Jujiin Samonte, who is a dedicated fan of the website. Users can also vote for each other’s looks using the cutest hearts with the tally winners listed in Looklet.com’s Daily Toplists. One of the newer features of the website is the editorial section which reads much like a blog with the most recent fashion news or possible inspiration for your look-in-progress as well as the ability to add friends and comments. A testament to the site’s never-ending evolution is the tattoos that can now be inked onto your models for an edgier look.

The website’s obvious popularity is most clear in the amount of users that have logged in to work their style magic. With over 120,000 users from around the world, this recently launched beta site can hardly be doing any better than it already is. On the popular networking website of Facebook alone, Looklet.com has garnered over seven thousand fans who diligently dedicate their time and passion to playing history’s best dress-up game.
