FOUNDER & CEO

Selina Ho

My name is Selina and I started Recloseted to transform the harmful fashion industry. 

Fashion has always been a part of my life. My mother studied fashion in Shanghai and dreamt of starting her own silk scarves line. But when my parents immigrated to Canada, she had to give up her career to raise me and my sister. Although she put her brand on hold, she sparked my love for fashion and taught me everything she knew.

Despite my love for fashion, I decided to start my career in business and marketing. I worked at Fortune 500s and startups but never felt fulfilled. Then one day at work, my blouse gave me a skin rash and I realized that the polyester fabric was irritating my sensitive skin. 

A quick internet search taught me that polyester was made out of crude oil (which shocked me) and so I dug deeper into the fashion industry. I went down a rabbit hole and learned about the unethical treatment of garment workers, the millions of tonnes of textile waste we send to the Global South, and everything else that is wrong with the garment industry.

That’s when I knew that I had to use my skills and expertise to help brands that deserved it and do my part to transform the fashion industry. I started Recloseted a month later and never looked back.

I am so proud and honored to work alongside our amazing clients to change the fashion industry. We all need to band together to make a positive impact.
