Not a big fan of gossipy company culture exposes, but DANIEL ROBERTS' piece on RENT THE RUNWAY for FORTUNE is useful -- it highlights some fundamental issues with the company's model.

Ones that have to fit on bodies, no two of which are exactly alike? Ones we develop intensely personal attachments to? A former employee interviewed for the story said, "It’s very much a prom dress rental company, but they’re trying to be more, and the problem is no one wants to rent that everyday stuff.” I don't know that renting out prom dresses is the ceiling for the RENT THE RUNWAY, but I'm highly skeptical that anyone wants to rent wardrobe staples...
