After years of helping friends find runway looks for less, Kim Halzle decided to launch Runway Rundown to share her shopping tips and habits with viewers who appreciate frugal runway fashion finds.
Kim was first introduced to a world of fast paced fashion design, retailing and merchandising, while working for up-and-coming designer Robert Rodriguez. Spending time with Rodriguez helped Kim learn the importance of forecasting trends and understanding the current market and where it is headed. It was this contemporary world -- which takes inspiration from luxury fashion -- where Kim found a way to be fashionable at an affordable price.
Kim Halzle sees great potential in the future of Runway Rundown, even as any sort of wardrobe purchase these days seems to be considered a luxury purchase. This is because, although keeping one's wardrobe up to date is not at the top of the to-do list, the urge for new clothing is hard for any fashionista to ignore. This site helps viewers satisfy their fashion urges and doesn't break the bank while doing so.
Since the site's launch earlier this year, Runway Rundown has received an overwhelming response from the fashion community, including thousands of visitors from around the globe, from Los Angeles and New York, to Paris and Milan. With such a response, Kim is excited about the site's growth and plans to expand into the men's market. We want to see Runway Rundown turn into a brand of fashion consulting/styling for shoppers around the world.
