Fashion isn't just about personal presentation for the younger generation - it's their favorite entertainment, a tool for self-discovery, and a way to build community. SWAPH helps them discover fashion styles and connect with like-minded individuals by matching them for clothing rentals and trades. The platform explores a much-desired yet unexplored market: a sharing economy platform for Gen Zs seeking self-identity through fashion in a sustainable way.
