You'd never know the world is facing a recession if these sites are anything to go by: cocosa.com, atelier mayer.com and schway.net, they are all new fashion sites looking to keep you out of the shops and onto your computer!

Here's the round-up:

Atelier-mayer.com

Vintage wear is nothing new to us, having reviewed designer-vintage and , however Atelier mayer had a virtual dressing room well-worth a visit. ATELIER-MAYER.COM is inspired by the late Klaudia Mayer, an Austrian haute couture tailor whose atelier was originally founded in 1927. The company has now updated Madame Mayer's heritage to the 21st century in the form of a luxury online boutique.

cocosa.com

Cocosa is an invitation-only fashion destination offering its members exclusive access to a number of private sales, each running for a limited period.  Members are invited to view the designer wear on offer about three to seven days before a sale with the option to preview it.  Offering 50 to 70 % of most items,  its a real competitor for outnet.

schway.net

Fashion interaction is what schway wants to offer; it allows you to create your own outfits, add your favourite look onto your Facebook page and, if you’d like to buy any of the fashions,  you can click through to the retailer’s site via the ‘buy this look’ button. It only offers a limited selection right now, but is sure to keep you coming back to try their new outfits.
