UsTrendy

Background info

UsTrendy is a website that sells men's and women's clothes. The company was founded in 2008 by Sam Sisakhti with the mission to assist up and coming talent fashion designers in launching their clothing and establishing their brands. He developed the concept during his trip to Las Vegas where he is reunited with his friend Aaron, a struggling fashion designer. Thus the idea was formed out of a necessity to help Aaron and other independent designers sell their clothing without compromising their unique styles. Today, UsTrendy operates as a global marketplace where shoppers can browse and purchase unique and trendy clothing from all over the world. UsTrendy was recently listed in Red Herring Top 100 Private Companies in America.
