WWD: Time Inc. U.K. has made a strategic investment in Snap Fashion, an online visual search firm that specializes in fashion, the publisher said Monday. Time Inc. U.K. didn’t disclose the size of the investment. London-based Snap Fashion operates the website snapfashion.co.uk, along with a series of apps that allow users to upload images of clothing items, which Snap Fashion then uses to find where the item is available to buy online, searching from over 250 retailers. The business was founded in 2011 by computer science graduate Jenny Griffiths, and began operating in 2012.
