Rent the Runway (RTR) is transforming the way we get dressed by pioneering the world’s first Closet in the Cloud. Founded in 2009, RTR has disrupted the $2.4 trillion fashion industry by inspiring women with a more joyful, sustainable and financially-savvy way to feel their best every day. As the ultimate destination for circular fashion, the brand now offers infinite points of access to its shared closet via a fully customizable subscription to fashion, one-time rental or ownership. RTR offers designer apparel and accessories from hundreds of brand partners and has built in-house proprietary technology and a one-of-a-kind reverse logistics operation. Under CEO and Co-Founder Jennifer Hyman’s leadership, RTR has been named to CNBC’s “Disruptor 50” five times in ten years, and has been placed on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list multiple times, while Hyman herself has been named to the “TIME 100” most influential people in the world and as one of People magazine’s “Women Changing the World.”

GIRL MEETS DRESS has a mission to offer high end, beautiful designer dresses to all women. Our philosophy is to leverage the power of Internet and this new innovative business model of luxury rental so that even the most high end dresses and accessories become accessible and affordable to the masses — as well as dry cleaning, insurance, and easy shipping and returns for two or seven day periods. Why should a woman spend a fortune on a gown that she'll probably never wear again? Girl Meets Dress is an endlessly rotating wardrobe and it has the accompanying benefit of sustainability in an industry plagued by copious waste, especially as retail giants move fast fashion further into the mainstream. GIRL MEETS DRESS.COM was launched in 2009 and as the pioneer of luxury rental, has since successfully established itself as the UK’s leading fashion rental retailer. With express UK and Europe delivery, and free returns, GIRL MEETS DRESS.COM offers an unparalleled shopping experience and has quickly established itself as the new go to destination for style conscious female shoppers looking for the best designer brands for every special event. There is a growing affinity, especially among millennials, for spending money on experiences instead of stuff. In the “experience economy,” shoppers prefer to save up money for trips and music festivals. They are inundated with never-ending choice, and so there’s a freedom in not being wedded to one item. People don’t necessarily want to commit to just one thing anymore.
