Rent the Runway is a popular online service that allows people to rent designer dresses and accessories for special occasions at a fraction of the retail price. The company was founded in 2009 by two Harvard Business School graduates, Jennifer Hyman, and Jennifer Fleiss.

The idea for Rent the Runway came about when Hyman’s sister needed a designer dress for a wedding but couldn’t afford the high price tag. Hyman and Fleiss realized that there was a need for a service that would allow women to rent high-end fashion for special occasions, rather than buying expensive outfits they might only wear once.
