Kellie Hush has joined luxury dress sharing platform The Volte as creative director.
Suzy Eskander has also been recruited as head of business development and designer liaison.
Hush, who was the editor-in-chief of Harper's BAZAAR Australia for six years, made the move after a stint as acting CEO of the Australian Fashion Council.
"A sustainable circular economy is key to the survival of the fashion industry," she said.
“Every fashion business with a touchpoint in both the supply chain and product life cycle must recognise their responsibility and actively contribute to textile circularity and reduction of waste.
“The Volte is a pioneer in the peer-to-peer fashion rental space and is changing how Australian consumers approach fashion.
"It’s an exciting space to be working in as we can already see the consumer shift away from fast fashion, which for too long has promoted overshopping and a disposable approach to fashion.”
The Volte has reported growth during the past financial year, with more than 250,000 monthly users now on the platform and 100,000 items listed.
The platform allows individuals to purchase designer dresses and accessories, and then list them for sharing.
