Anya Chang - Taelor.Style
On Getting the Style Right: "We tend to know about the best performing clothes and also those brands from all over the world that are high quality and really, really good be able to find a home here."
Men's clothing styles can be challenging. As professional people, going around meeting other professionals, we want to look professional. But when it comes to shopping, many men aren't interested in running around and having to decide what looks good. We want the clothes to just show up at our doorstep.
This is a problem that Anya Chang of Taelor.Style has solved. Utilizing AI to help men get the clothes they want that fit the style they are going for, Anya helps these men rent clothes. Much like Netflix DVD's from back in the day. This allows her clients to enjoy the clothes and keep a fresh and new wardrobe. Pretty clever, right?
The beauty is the combination of clothes showing up, then they can be shipped back without washing them. Then more clothing shows up. This is an ideal way to stay fresh, trendy and noticed, while maintaining working as a busy professional looking for a minimum maintenance lifestyle.
Anya discusses her past in Silicon Valley and how she developed Taelor.Style to help the busy professional man.
Listen as Anya discusses her entrepreneurial journey, her wins, along with a few losses, and the learning curve that comes with delving into the garment industry.
Enjoy!
