The whole fashion-meets-tech play is really only still emerging, with a wide gamut of businesses pimping various ideas from matching your personal tastes in clothes via your social graph, to literally mapping your body to fit custom-made items. But Fashion startups are notoriously guarded with their numbers. However, one startup has decided to break the mould. Lyst, which is a little like a Twitter for fashion which you can also buy from, has been around for about 18 months until it launched late last year. It's since picked up $5 million in funding and appears to be doing pretty well.

Both those numbers represent 1000% growth in 2012. Right now it's getting 60% traffic from the US, 30% from Europe and 10% Asia + Aus.
