Janet Mandell

Janet Mandell was born with fashion in her blood. She didn’t attend fashion or design school and her expertise is entirely self-made. Her love of fashion led to the creation of our fashion universe and that’s where our story begins. Janet believes fashion is not about making a statement, but encourages others to take risks with colors, textures and express their own sense of style. Fashion should never be judgmental but instead an outlet with which to create your own version of art. After years of doing exactly that, she decided to take a leap of faith and start JANET MANDELL, a curated fashion rental house. The curated high-fashion rental showroom combines the best of both worlds, fashion and sustainability. Her vision and business journeys led her to believe this was a risk worth taking even in an emerging market. After a year of success, she decided to rename ByFashionaholic to Janet Mandell, fully embodying her dream. She opened JANET MANDELL CHICAGO (flagship location) in 2018 and then branched out to LOS ANGELES in late 2019 with NYC in the works for 2023.
