There are many online fashion marketplaces that target Gen Z shoppers but VNV stands out by specifically speaking to women over 40. Founded by a Millennial and a Baby Boomer, VBV was conceptualized after hearing many mature women complain about how difficult it was to find great pieces of clothing. The convention-defying, pro-aging platform says that "dressing by age is outdated" and it aims to be a retail destination for women as they age that brings back the joy of dressing.
With a focus on fun, modern and easy-to-wear styles, VNV is disrupting the fashion industry and serving an audience that's often overlooked. VNV partnered with 20 brands to offer clothing that fits women's changing bodies and styles at a range of different sizing and price points.
