If you’ve been to South by Southwest you know that it’s easy to start the day looking put together and end it with limp hair, hurt feet and in need of a space to decompress. That’s why Rent the Runway offered attendees the chance to change their outfit as well as get their hair and makeup done at the brand’s pop-up this past weekend at SXSW.
