Ambika Singh

Ambika Singh noticed a hole in the fashion market as a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: She wanted competitive edge not only in her career but also in her wardrobe, but she didn’t have the time, money, or “shopping IQ” to do so. When talking to some friends about the issue and pressures the “modern bosslady” feels to dress well, she realized the wide-reaching problem. It was then she started Armoire, an online wardrobe service that connects clients with a personal stylist who curates a rentable “dream closet” for a flat monthly fee. The Eastside native, who now resides in Seattle, where Armoire is based, shared a few of her favorite local bites and sources of inspiration.
