Wear Your Favorite Designer This Holiday Season
By: Hope Wilkos, Writer
This is the finest time of the year for fashion to shine and sparkle. The holiday brings with it a sense of excitement as the parties abound for a few months. The next important step is finding something to wear so that you will look and feel your very best.
Long satin gowns, skinny velvet leggings, embellished sweaters for warmth and even lace dresses all take on a new meaning when you can wear them as creations being exhibited by designers with an unsurpassed reputation. The one factor that could make or break the decision is the cost. Many of us do not have $750 to burn for only one evening and you can never wear the same outfit twice to a party.
This is where ‘Rent The Runway‘ comes into play. “The world saw a dress and ‘Rent The Runway’ saw an opportunity” and took full advantage of the endless possibilities. The company has truly revolutionized the retail industry. Drape yourself in luxury, when before this it was a wish to wear designer clothing at full price. Elegance was but a dream away. It is a company that has grown out of a need and a strong desire, having a unique viewpoint that has become the guiding principle. As the website highlights:
WE’RE NOT
DISRUPTING
AN EXISTING
MARKET. WE’RE
CREATING
A NEW ONE.
Bright and ambitious individuals are the formula to a successful team. Each works cohesively together to set long-term visions with technology in mind 100% of the time.
For one memorable evening, be transformed like Cinderella as you put on a golden sequined Badgley Mischka dress with plunging neckline. Choice is yours; live in luxury for the evening for $55 or finance the dress to just sit in your closet.

To celebrate ‘Rent The Runway’s’ 5th anniversary, they have launched a 25-piece capsule collection called 5Y, with gowns that will make heads turn with admiration and envy as they wonder where you bought that magnificent dress. Seven designers comprise this newest 5Y collection, names that are fashion week favorites and highly-respected for their work. Oscar de la Renta, Christian Siriano, Lela Rose, Kenneth Jay Lane, Badgley Mischka, Monique Lhuillier and Marchesa Voyage have each created 3 to 4 pieces that have been designed exclusively for ‘Rent The Runway.’ Stand out in the color of the season, hold that pose in a strapless peplum dress or display your femininity to the fullest in a body-hugging black velvet and lace gown.

The designers have no doubts that this type of offering will draw in many new fashion savvy fans who will magically be convinced that a particular designer produces their dress or gown of choice, which in turn creates a loyal following. The collection will feature everything from cocktail and evening gowns to glamorous accessories. Hold on to the outfit for 4 days and put out anywhere from $20 to $450.
As long as you remember the four easy steps, it is as simple as making it your own. Find it, book it, wear it and then return it. ‘Rent The Runway’ has received rave reviews from not only satisfied customers, but has been featured in the media on Good Morning America and The Today Show as well as in global publications such as WWD, InStyle and The Wall Street Journal. Co-founders Jenn and Jenny believe that when you look and feel beautiful, you become transformed from the ordinary to the extraordinary and they believe that every woman deserves to have their Cinderella moment.
