Amazon is moving into the fashion industry again.
The e-commerce giant announced Wednesday it has developed a new fashion shopping experience called The Drop . The Drop is designed to provide "exclusive access to limited-edition, street-style inspired collections designed by fashion influencers from around the world."
The designs will be made on demand and available for purchase for only 30 hours at a time "because fabric is limited," the company said. Separately, there will also be an offering called "Staples by the Drop," which are perennial items that will complement the limited-time assortment.
