      How can you ask for a better start to New York Fashion Week? Well, you have the most anticipated designs with Janet Mandell, archival pieces and the best seat in the house. As our Young Bold And Regal fashion correspondent Maxine glided through the streets of NYC with the effortless charm of Carrie Bradshaw,  she knew she was going to the hottest fashion show of this season. The tribute to vintage felt like a time machine taking us back to the iconic archival style of the 90s. This reestablishes Janet Mandell as one of the most important names in luxury rental fashion today.

       Seated at the Janet Mandell archival runway was like a portal back to the heyday of the fashion world. Models floated on the runway in looks from the 90's and early 2000's highlighting legendary designs from Roberto Cavalli, Christian Dior by John Galliano, Gucci, Tom Ford,  and Gianni Versace. Seeing these designs left an indelible mark on the audience, with whispers of which stars will wear which dress for upcoming red carpet moments this awards season. 

     "Fashion needs a reset and this is where Janet Mandell comes in to help elevate that process,” said founder Janet Mandell. “Tonight’s runway was about honoring the past while showing the world what comes next for fashion, retail, and sustainability". 

    Having flagship showrooms in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, Janet Mandell has recontextualized the luxury rental experience with couture level service and rare archive of vintage fashion. Making them the goto brand where the most well known stars turn to them for the best looks. 

Household names have worn their designs such as the Kardashians, Mindy Kaling, the Nader sisters, Lisa Rinna, and Delilah Belle. Marquee attendees that attended tonight's fashion show were Brooks Nader, Mary Holland Nader, Grace Ann Nader, and Sarah Jane Nader.  

      Tonight's runway showcased the debut of Janet Mandell's advanced technology platform, which integrates a Distribution API, the Bestow Consignment Model, and AI driven SaaS solutions. The Bestow model encourages clients to co-sign their wardrobes, extending the garment life through rentals and selling the pieces to the right buyers. 

Each showroom is provided with the top tailors, making sure every garment receives the utmost care and and alterations with the precision of a couture atelier.

 Janet Mandell's ability to make you feel like a million dollars stems from their attention to detail, their cutting edge service, and fashion forward mission statement. 

Mandell was founded by Robert Mandell and Janet Mandell, with the brand's headquarters in Chicago and showrooms in New York and Los Angeles. Their brand mixes archival fashion rental with couture level service, giving clients an A-level experience. We are exciting to see them usher in a new age of fashion, integrating AI into their fashion practices.
