Fete Lifestyle Magazine April 2023 - Fashion Issue | Page 69

DC: Share the moment when you realized that you could monetize the luxury items that you already had in your closet and create a business.

JM: My friends would often raid my closet for their needs and events, and I soon realized there might be a potential opportunity to start a business in renting out fashion. The timing was great because we had our own self-funding in place to start ASAP. They say if you don’t pursue your ideas, then someone else will!

DC: How do you source and decide which designer pieces will make it to your showroom floor and which new arrivals are you most excited about?

JM: We have a system in place and our stylists are fully aware of what our clients want. I will buy pieces that I know will work for our clients and after having this business for almost 5 years, that became a seamless task. I can’t fully share my buying secrets but let’s say.... I buy from everywhere, and from all around the world, which allows me to curate one-of-a-kind selections. I am excited mostly about vintage SAINT LAURENT and CHANEL.
