"As a company that prides itself on its deep connection with our
customer, we wanted to continue providing them with aspirational
content while evolving their overall experience with us,” says
Michael Mente, REVOLVE Co-Founder & Co-CEO. "Although we
would have loved to bring REVOLVE U to life with a huge in-person
conference, we are excited to see the impact that it has
virtually."
Continuing to inspire customers in new ways while giving back to
the community, REVOLVE and nonprofit Step Up have partnered to
bring further impact to the REVOLVE U event. Step Up is an
organization that supports girls of color living or going to school
in underserved communities as they develop the skills,
relationships, and access needed to graduate high school confident,
college-bound, career-focused, and ready to join the next
generation of women leaders. REVOLVE will be donating $25,000 to
the organization that will directly support Step Up’s Class of 2020
with a gift of a Step Up annual membership, helping their graduates
gain access to a diverse network of mentors. In addition, REVOLVE
Co-Founder & Co-CEO Michael Mente and Chief Brand Officer
Raissa Gerona will be mentoring and providing some of the graduates
with insight on breaking into the fashion industry and advice on
how to build a brand.
“We have generally been known for our party and travel focused
lifestyle so it was important for us to show a different side of
the brand,” says Raissa Gerona, REVOLVE Chief Brand Officer.
“With REVOLVE U, we set out to offer a different type of
inspiration than our customer is used to. This new initiative is
inspired by our global network of influencers, the hundreds of
brands we carry that are owned and operated by entrepreneurs, and
lastly, by Michael and Mike who started REVOLVE out of their own
apartment 17 years ago.”
