Investment in fashion startup Hirestreet by dmg ventures due to their super sleek rental platform with over 100 UK and international brands and a tiered subscription model for flexibility.
Founder Isabella started Hirestreet to offer an alternative to fast-fashion, facing challenges but eventually building a strong team and technology platform.
Hirestreet focuses on younger generation's demand for sustainable and affordable high-street fashion, addressing the issue of fast-fashion consumption.
Rental provides a lucrative avenue for retailers to increase margins and monetize excess inventory, offering additional revenue streams.
Hirestreet's partnership with dmg media aligns with the target audience demographic, utilizing platforms like Mail Online, Metro, and Eliza to reach a wide audience.
Successful collaboration expected with Eliza, a social-first fashion and beauty brand under dmg media, to educate and inspire audience about the benefits of rental.
Overall, the investment in Hirestreet is driven by its alignment with sustainable fashion trends, retailer profitability, and strategic media partnerships.
