In the film 27 Dresses<\/em>, after serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, Jane\u2019s Mr. Right was still nowhere to be seen, leaving 27 dresses quietly sitting in her wardrobe. If it happens in reality where one pays such rent, how many girls out there would have the luxury to let those never-to-be-worn dresses occupy their entire wardrobes?<\/p>

2 years ago, the idea of wardrobe-sharing popped up in Joey and Elaine\u2019s minds, giving birth to the launch of Wardrobista<\/a> online. This year, the store has made its physical debut in Lee Gardens, providing affordable clothing rental services of various major European and American fashion brands. It mainly offers clothes which you would wear at special formal occasions, such as graduation dinners, company annual banquets and weddings \u2013\u00a0 resolving urban dwellers\u2019 storage problems as well as extending the lifecycle of those rarely-worn fashion items by upholding the principle of waste reduction.<\/p>

Elaine once worked in the procurement industry, so she understands the amount of waste produced by the fashion sector well. \u2018In the course of manufacturing a fashion item, a total of 10 samples might be made during the process; however, 9 of them will eventually be thrown away. On the other hand, to minimize the supply chain costs, suppliers would set a minimum ordering quantity. For instance, if only 500 pieces of a certain item are needed, for the sake of cost-effectiveness, 1000 pieces would eventually be produced, which inevitably produces waste. As for some international high-end fashion brands, they might simply dispose of their out-of-season inventory items for brand-image protection,\u2019 she sighed. This may just be the real \u2018fashion disaster\u2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Apart from renting the store\u2019s items, Wardrobista also allows their customers to do a kind of consignment, and put their dresses there for other customers to rent. It would then split profits with them. Nevertheless, to ensure the products\u2019 quality, it currently only accepts branded clothes which could pass its quality checks. Although the practice of wardrobe-sharing can successfully recycle resources and lessen the burdens imposed on the environment, ultimately, every piece of clothing would also reach the end of its lifecycle. Therefore, Joey also hopes they can make good use of the fabrics of those old clothes and \u00a0#upcycle<\/a> them, granting old clothes new lives. \u2018We are also joining hands with some photographers and charities to lend clothing items to the less privileged in our society, letting them try on luxurious clothes and take photos as mementos,\u2019 Joey continued.<\/p>

While Japanese writer Hideko Yamashita has proposed the idea of \u2018danshari\u2019 \u2013 encouraging people to declutter, the practice of wardrobe-sharing, on the other hand, does not completely veto people\u2019s material desires, yet significantly changes their extravagant lifestyle, in turn giving our planet some more love.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
