Rent the Runway is a designer clothing rental subscription service, allowing users to borrow and wear designer fashion for various occasions.

Rent the Runway

Founded in 2009, Rent the Runway is disrupting the trillion-dollar fashion industry and changing the way women get dressed through the Closet in the Cloud, the world’s first and largest shared designer closet. RTR’s mission has remained the same since its founding: powering women to feel their best every day. Through RTR, customers can subscribe, rent items a-la-carte and shop resale from hundreds of designer brands. The Closet in the Cloud offers a wide assortment of millions of items for every occasion, from evening wear and accessories to ready-to-wear, workwear, denim, casual, maternity, outerwear, blouses, knitwear, loungewear, jewelry, handbags, activewear and ski wear. RTR has built a two-sided discovery engine, which connects deeply engaged customers and differentiated brand partners on a powerful platform built around its brand, data, logistics and technology. 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 four 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."

This Women’s History Month, our CEO & Co-Founder, Jennifer Hyman, is thinking about the change we need to see to get more women to the top in the corporate world. For decades women have had the professional qualifications for upward mobility in their careers, but progress has been too slow. 

Jenn believes that a key accelerant for women in the workplace is a vocal community of advocates that publicly champion our successes and accomplishments. However, studies show that women are less likely to self-promote their professional accolades than their male counterparts — and because they talk less about themselves, their accomplishments become less visible.

Rent the Runway is looking to change the conversation by encouraging women to show off — so that their professional victories become more seen and talked about. It’s this very self-promotion that will enable women to more quickly ascend the corporate ladder. 

Today, we are hoping to kick off a virtuous cycle of lifting women up through public recognition on LinkedIn. During March, Rent the Runway is gifting $1M in free one month subscriptions of our most popular 10-item plan to women who have recently experienced a recent professional accomplishment that deserves celebrating. You can either self-nominate by commenting on Jenn’s post and sharing an accolade you've recently achieved at work… or you can nominate a friend who’s recently experienced a professional win and tell her story, too. #RTRShowOff #IWD2024

📣 Rent the Runway has launched LUXURY 📣

Our mission has always been to democratize fashion and with the launch of The Vault, we are making luxury more accessible than ever. This collection features high fashion by universally-beloved designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Etro, RACHEL GILBERT, Zac Posen and provides unparalleled access to coveted designer looks retailing for $1,000-$8,000. 

Our team has built incredible relationships with designers since 2009, and we've gone from convincing brands that rental is the future to seeing some of the biggest fashion houses in the world consider RTR an important customer awareness and acquisition channel. 

We are thrilled to see this initiative come to life as yet another testament to our commitment to our customer and providing a unique and magical experience.
