On the heels of my last article talking about wearable technology, there is much to be said about our ability to adopt new things to our lifestyle here in Guyana. Leaning on my own experience, I’ll take you back to the start of my career in fashion in Toronto. Out of a series of very fortunate events I landed my first position in fashion at a startup called Rent Frock Repeat. It was Spring of 2011, and the company hadn’t even launched yet, and I knew very little, but at 19 I was sure I wanted experience in the industry.
Rent Frock Repeat, would be the first company of its kind in Canada, launching completely online, utilising strategic partners like Canada Post and launching as an online dress rental; where for four or eight days, a designer dress (or dresses) could be yours for a fraction of the cost – you rented them.
