Haute Tech: Future of Fashion at NY Tech Week 2024

It’s the year 2034, and you’re effortlessly navigating a world where AI and sustainability have transformed the way we shop, style, and express ourselves through fashion. Sounds too good to be true? Well, buckle up, because our upcoming events at NY Tech Week 2024 are your exclusive ticket to a fashion adventure like no other!

Meet Arête, the AI-powered personal stylist you turn to for fully shoppable outfit suggestions based on your style preferences, occasions, and vibes. All our recommendations come from emerging brands, so you can stay ahead of the curve while supporting the stars of tomorrow. With our CEO Kotryna Jukneviciute, President Cassie Huang, and CTO MJ Perez leading the charge, Arête is fostering a community that celebrates connection through fashion.

Next up, we have Alternew, the dynamic duo of Rachel Sterling and Nancy Rhodes, who bonded over Aperol spritzes and a shared passion for accelerating fashion’s transition to a circular economy. Alternew is creating the operating systems for circular consumer services, focusing on alterations and repairs. By making it simple for brands to launch these essential services, Alternew is paving the way for sustainability in fashion.

Now, let’s talk about The PS Collective, the ultimate destination for petite women dressing to impress. Founded by Colette Johnson, who got her masterclass on exceptional customer service at Nordstrom, and Francesca Donadoni, a brilliant machine learning engineer, The PS Collective is building a peer-to-peer rental and resale marketplace, where you can rent stunning outfits that fit and flatter your body, without compromising on style or sustainability.

Last but not least, meet Beni, an AI-powered browser extension that helps you find the best resale deals across 50+ sites when you shop online, enjoying up to 90% off retail prices. Led by CEO Kate Sanner, Beni started out validating their business idea using Google image search to find resale alternatives for the items people were shopping for. Now, Beni automates the work for you, so you can shop more sustainably in seconds.
