Rent The Runway Recap

Last week I had the opportunity to lunch, and later sip champagne, with the CEO and co-founder of Rent the Runway, Jenn Hyman. While attending Harvard Business School, Jenn and her co-founder Jenny Fleiss came up with the idea to start a site that allowed women to rent dresses at a fraction of the price it would cost to own them. Just a few years later, Rent the Runway has around 2.5 million subscribers who have access to designer dresses they can rent for any occasion! It was so inspiring to talk with Jenn and her team and brainstorm new ways to bring Rent the Runway to the “go getter girl” in DC!

If you haven’t checked it out yet, be sure to pay Rent the Runway a visit – I’m scouring my social calendar for an occasion to rent a gorgeous Herve Leger. Plus, you can rent the perfect matching accessories, get the right makeup sent along, and access to a stylist who can help you put it all together. Amazing!
