“I'm constantly running to meetings outside of the office, and I think that you can't go wrong with a great pair of Lanvin pumps.”

“People should think about their closets like they think about a stock portfolio. There are things you want to invest in; you make those investments, and those are your blue chips. So you should invest in a great pair of jeans, in a great cashmere sweater.”

“What's interesting about the transportation market is that you're often dabbling in multiple categories. The same person who might own a car is still using Uber, is still using a taxi, still might go to Avis on a business trip and rent a car.”

“Every single person around the world has this storage facility in their bedroom, and we call it a closet, and 80 percent of the stuff in that storage facility is worn three times or less in its lifetime.”

“If you spend your time away from work looking at emails and making sure your inbox went down to zero, that's not an effective way to spend your time as a CEO or an entrepreneur. Often times, those emails aren't that important.”

“We learn about MLK's 'I Have a Dream' speech. Take that same speech and put it in the voice of a woman. Would it be as inspirational? Would it have as much gravitas to it?”

“Industries that are chaotic are ripe for innovation. They are open to anyone who has an idea.”

“Almost every one of us interacts with the experience or sharing economy every day, and I'm proud that Rent the Runway has helped to popularize and normalize this behavior.”

“I've found that entrepreneurship only gets harder every year, and as your team gets bigger, the stakes get higher.”

“We are helping women express themselves and feel awesome about themselves, and I think that does change the course of your day.”

“I want to put H&M and Zara out of business.”

“All early entrepreneurs fall prey to the same problem, which is everyone believes that if you are super intense in the beginning, work long hours, that you can create something quickly and that entrepreneurship is almost something that happens overnight.”

“In the early years of Rent the Runway, our challenge was twofold: getting investors to buy into our vision for how the world was changing and getting women to understand that renting was a viable - let alone a smarter - alternative to spending hundreds of dollars on dresses they would wear just once.”

“Clothing enables people to self-express, and that's why variety, when it comes to our wardrobe, has become more and more important over time.”

“I'm a magazine junkie. I have 30 different subscriptions to various magazines, and I like old-school, real magazines.”

“When choosing vendors for my wedding, I intentionally searched for women who were at the beginning of their own founder journeys.”

“If I am looking to impress people, I'll be in a Rent the Runway dress and great accessories.”

“In the morning at home, I'm not functioning as an entrepreneur - I completely limit technology and any work-think - I'm functioning as a mom and a wife.”

“If you're passionate about something, go for it, because people are great at what they love and when they're the happiest.”

“The more time goes by, the more things will happen to you in your life. And the ability to be positive throughout and look for the good in people, look for the good in situations - it's so important.”
