Pre-Loved Podcast: Adarsh Alphons\\xa0

Today I\\u2019m speaking Adarsh Alphons the founder of Wardrobe, the largest peer rental marketplace for luxury and vintage fashion. Prior to Wardrobe, Adarsh founded ProjectArt\\u2014currently the nation\\u2019s largest art school, without owning a single building. His background as a proven leader in the sharing economy space made ProjectArt a nationally-scaled enterprise, and now he\\u2019s turned that expertise to the fashion rental world.

We talk about why the sharing economy, and why fashion, what goes into scaling up a business like this, all kinds of inside behind-the-scenes bits about the business, what this wild year has been like for this (very new!) fashion start-up, the future of fashion, and more.\\xa0
