[10] The company quickly became a multichannel retailer when it opened its first pop-up Fit Shop in Los Angeles, followed by another in San Francisco.

[12] ModCloth used these pop-up stores to promote existing online and social media services such as Fit for Me and the Style Gallery.

The contest winners had their sketches adapted into real clothing for the spring line, with each Make the Cut garment product featuring the artist's name printed on the label.
