The Unicorns Podcast connects you to some of the best and brightest founders, CEOs, executives, business owners, innovators, entrepreneurs and inspiring leaders who make things happen and inspire others.

Host Justin Kelly – former broadcast journalist and PR veteran – chats with leaders from across Australia and internationally on business strategy, what it takes to build a successful company, how to overcome challenges and advice for those on a similar journey.

In this episode, Justin interviews Nicole Shiraz and Corey Norman – the founders behind Air Closet, a neighbourhood-based fashion rental platform.

The platform combines AI-powered technology with community-driven fashion sharing to create a more sustainable and accessible approach to designer style. The company’s innovative solution eliminates traditional rental pain points while building a trusted fashion-sharing economy that benefits lenders and renters.

Air Closet users can earn between $500 and $2,000 monthly by sharing their existing closet, with the platform handling all security and payment processes. The service offers tiered membership options, from a free basic plan to premium subscriptions at $9.99 and $19.99 monthly, providing enhanced insurance coverage up to $5,000 and additional features.

The platform eliminates the traditional 72-hour approval waiting periods plaguing the fashion rental industry with an instant-book system that delivers same-day access to local designer closets. Air Closet launches with an established base of over 10,000 rental customers and 2,000 registered users nationwide, demonstrating strong market demand for a more efficient rental solution. It’s free to join and list, and the company charges a 10 percent fee when the item is rented.
