Retail revolution: rent the runway

 

Rent the Runway is for women who know and love high fashion, but who don’t want to deal with all the anxiety of investing in piece after piece. -RTR

 

Get ready for your biggest stylegasm since online sample sales went main stream: Rent the Runway a NYC based company that allows you to rent the latest show stopping designer garments. Their fashion forward team source the best from brands like Christian Siriano, Pencey, Diane Von Furstenburg, Foley + Corinna, Badgley Mischa, and many more.
 
Pick your dress, date you need it, and you get it for 4 days (or 8) as well as a second size and fit kit (double stick tape, bra converter, and deodorant remover wipes). Wear it, then send it back and SLATE NYC- an eco and luxury friendly dry cleaner, takes care of all the dry cleaning needs for you. Best thing about it? Rental fees are as much as 90% off of the retail prices! The entrepreneurs behind this pioneering endeavor are Harvard Business School Alumni Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Carter Fleiss. Hyman and Fleiss developed the business plan and cultivated an expert team team of stylists that is bound to revolutionize retail.
