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.
