Brazil’s Real-Time Facebook Likes Posted by on May 7, 2012 in Brazilian News

C&A, a large retailer in Brazil, decided to try an experiment that combines social media and fashion in a mall in São Paulo.

From Vila Mulher:

Estamos sempre sendo bombardeadas com novidades fashion que acabam hipnotizando a gente para ficar sempre de olho no que há de melhor nas fast fashions. A C&A inventou mais uma criando um cabide que registra quem curte a peça, o “Fashion Like”. Ele funciona com visores instalados em alguns cabides em apenas 10 modelos especiais para o Dia das Mães, e estes, mostram quantos likes cada roupa ganhou no Facebook em tempo real.

Check out a photo from the store here.

Key vocab words:

cabide – hanger

peça – item (of clothing)

gostar – to like

curtir – to like (on Facebook); to enjoy

It’s a pretty innovative idea – do you think it will spread?
