One of the latest is Chicisimo--a social media site for fashionistas to post and vote on pictures of their latest looks, and then buy the look for themselves -- which today is announcing that it's picked up a seed round of $800,000 from a list of angel investors including VitaminaK, a backer of another e-commerce upstart, Alice.com.The news comes as Chicisimo exists a long stint in beta mode, which saw the site over the last two years expand to cover seven languages -- Italian, German, French, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and English.
