The Lebanese-American online peer-to-peer (P2P) fashion market, Lemonade Fashion, has raised a preseed investment with Draper University Ventures in San Francisco.

The platform connects buyers with designers, allowing users to browse a wide variety of designer outfits and order personalized items.
“Fashion will experience dramatic changes in a post-Covid-19 era, and the share of online shopping will grow rapidly. This will require solid platforms and technologies, but also a better understanding of the new market evolution, ”said Arthur Bizdikian, cofounder and CEO of Lemonade Fashion. “In this new world, trust will play an important role; customers want to know who made their clothes, if they fit them and if they have ever worn them. Durability, quality and price will greatly influence consumer behavior.“ Lemonade Fashion has more than 50 designers listed on its platform and is currently working on the development of its technical department in Yerevan.
