Online fashion retail has 10-20% market share today, and is growing. There are plenty of start-ups working on virtual methods of fitting clothes. That , with generous return policies, good brands , and cheaper prices because of online savings holds a lot of potential, not to speak of interesting online experiences.
There are some companies that do online furniture. First they use the price advantage ,and stuff like group buying. They also try showroom models like: showing a few couches in some coffee store, or showing miniature models of furniture , to save space. I bet there is also some work on 3D and virtual reality that we might see when the occulus rift becomes popular.
If think amazon's strategy is to let other companies solve problem and the rapidly copy them/buy them and use their resources to scale the business. They just recently started doing so in fashion.
