The site, which caters to Millennial women, focuses on fashion but covers pretty much everything from trending hashtags to Kerry Washington’s advice on “How to Be More Like Olivia Pope.

The company has also seen some big changes within the past month: it achieved profitability, raised more than $30 million in capital, hired Amy Emmerlich (who formerly ran video at VICE Media and developed Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations for the Travel Channel) to run video, and announced that it would begin covering the food world by way of former fashion model/current editor Elettra Wiedemann.

As AdAge reports today, Refinery29 has also partnered with Uber for a New York Fashion Week promo stunt: 30,000 copies of a real-life (one-time-only) print pub called “Editions” will be “distributed in select Uber cars in New York during Fashion Week.”
