In 2009 Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss launched a company called Rent the Runway in New York City. Rent the Runway is designed for women who want to look glamorous without breaking the bank. The company allows its consumers to rent high-end designer dresses and accessories for a four to eight day period from renttherunway.com. Rent the Runway is a vehicle for fashionistas to have access to their dream closet on a modest (college student) budget. Rent the Runway provides access to over 165 high-end fashion name brands for a fraction of the retail price. Rent the Runway has been called the “Netflix of fashion” and has been mentioned in major publications such as Cosmopolitan, The New York Times, Forbes Magazine, Style.com, CNN, WWD, Teen Vogue, Seventeen, The Today Show, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal. So far over 3 million women have signed up for access. During a trip home, one of the co-founders, Jennifer Hyman, saw her sister struggling with “a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear.” Hyman’s sister wanted to wear something from the red carpet, but had shallow pockets. At that moment Hyman decided to find a way for every woman to be able to have a Cinderella experience. They created a company to fill the needs of women who know and love high fashion, but cannot afford the designer prices. Hyman and Fleiss have created and maintained exclusive relationships with top designers, and therefore are able to continually update inventory with the latest designer pieces. Rent the Runway has college rep teams on campuses around the country under their Campus Girl branch of the company. For the first time, Spelman College has a Rent the Runway team. The rep team intern members are comprised of two managers, a blogger, a social media representative, an event coordinator, a public relations representative, two marketing representatives, and a Greek liaison. The college rep team is an amazing fashion internship that provides insight into the fashion industry and working experience. Spelmans Rent the Runway team plans to host several events and constantly advertise the rental experience to its students.

This style incorporates very sexy feminine aspects of fashion fused with work out and athletic gear, or national sports paraphernalia. Singer and actress Teyana Taylor rocked this sexy tomboy look for years, before it was commercialized. Now numerous fashion influentials are giving the tomboy glamorous style meaning and visibility. Singers Rihanna and Rita Ora display great examples of the style in the media. Beyonce’s February 2013 GQ Magazine cover and spread is another affirmation of style having validity in the fashion realm of daily life. Below are descriptions of outfits that embody the sporty chic (or Luxe Athletic) look. Varsity Jacket Tank Top Asymmetrical Skort Single Sole Heels.
