Shared Wardrobe

Clothing libraries offer consumers a sustainable fashion solution

Implications - As consumers look for ways to live more simply, many are embracing new models of sharing and trading clothes inspired by the peer-to-peer economy.

In addition to showcasing the far-reaching influence of the sharing economy, this shift highlights the new ways of accumulating products that extends past traditional retailer-to-consumer models.
