Rent The Runway: Netflix For Fashion

Posted by Alex in Fashion on November 10, 2009 at 1:05 pm

A new website called Rent the Runway is betting that it can do for haute couture what Netflix did for movies:

“It was so easy. You just wear it and drop it back in the mail to them,” Ms. Harris said. “I don’t spend $2,000 on a dress regularly, so it’s nice to be able to wear some of the more expensive brands I wouldn’t be able to buy otherwise. And instead of just buying one or two dresses for this season, I can still have a lot of things to wear.”

Rent the Runway was founded by two recent Harvard Business School graduates, Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Carter Fleiss. Ms. Hyman said she got the idea for the service last year after watching her younger sister agonize over whether to buy an expensive new outfit to wear to a wedding.

“Here was this young girl who loves fashion and was willing to spend a good portion of her salary on a dress that she’s only going to wear once or twice, and I thought, there has to be a solution for this,” said Ms. Hyman.

Horse Couture: Dirndl Dress for Horses

Posted by Alex in Animals & Pets, Fashion on May 21, 2009 at 1:40 am

Bavarian designer Hildegard Bergbauer usually creates dirndl dresses for women, but she has recently branched out to other species like cats, dogs … and even horses!

She said she was inspired to create the outfits by watching stage shows as a youngster. ‘The animals appeared on stage with little handbags and hats,’ she added.

‘It was a sight that I’ll never forget and an experience that has shaped me. The idea has gone down really well. People think it’s a lot of fun.’
