Renting Is the New Luxury

How Gold Coast start-up TENN Designer Hire is stitching sustainability into every seam of high fashion

In an age where mindfulness meets style, Gold Coast label TENN Designer Hire is rewriting the rules of luxury. Founded by law-graduate-turned-fashion-entrepreneur Jaz Stewart, the business invites women to slip into the world’s most coveted gowns without slipping into environmental debt — or draining the bank account.

“Designer fashion should be accessible and sustainable,” Jaz smiles. “When you rent instead of buy, you enjoy a show-stopping look, shrink your carbon footprint and spare your wallet all at once.”

Tackling fashion’s waste crisis

The industry discards an estimated 92 million tonnes of textiles each year, much of it from one-off outfits bought for formals, weddings and galas. TENN flips that narrative. By curating investment pieces from labels such as Albina Dylaand Lia Stublla, then professionally cleaning and maintaining each garment, the company extends a dress’s lifespan through multiple love stories.

A new standard of conscious glamour

Clients browse a collection that balances trend with timelessness, hiring gowns for a fraction of retail cost. Reusable garment bags, carbon-neutral delivery and partnerships with charities for end-of-life recycling round out TENN’s circular ethos.

“We’re not just hiring out dresses,” Jaz says. “We’re changing mindsets. Sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s the future of fashion, and we’re proud to lead that change one dress at a time.”

With its blend of innovation, inclusivity and integrity, TENN Designer Hire proves true luxury is measured not by ownership, but by impact.
