In this episode, Micaela O’Herron, founder of Social Closet, explains why renting the clothing we have could aid in the fashion industry’s consumption problem. Her individual consumer practices and closet inspired her to find a solution - the Social Closet. The Social Closet provides its user with an online space to lend and/or rent clothing. It’s free to join and arguably more affordable than spending money on something new. Another great feature she offers on her site is the Wardrobe Tracker. Lending to her innovative abilities as a professional software engineer, this Tracker provides a visual account to which items in your closet that you where, and how often you where them. The Social Closet could very well be the new, one-stop shopping experience. For more on Micaela, and the Social Closet, check out www.mysocialcloset.com.
