"   Lucy Sykes Rellie and Jennifer Hyman with the McQueen polar bear in London.  Rent the Runway`s making a big push for the second half of 2011. The site, which makes it quick, easy and reasonable to rent a designer dress for a single evening, has named Lucy Sykes Rellie their new fashion director. Rellie&amp;#039;s played fashion editor before, as well as designer of children&amp;#039;s clothes. Her first order of business? A trip to London with Rent the Runway&amp;#039;s CEO Jennifer Hyman. The two are hoping to recruit a roster full of hip young Brits\u2014as well as Kate Middleton`s favorite designers like Issa and Erdem\u2014to the site. After Issa, the two swung by Alexander McQueen where they were &amp;quot;welcomed by a massive polar bear&amp;quot; and then Roland Mouret\u2014two brands that would surely attract a loyal Rent the Runway following. They also met with Shaun Leane who collaborated with McQueen for years and builds crazy custom pieces for Daphne Guinness. Finally, they hosted a dinner at Charlotte Clark&amp;#039;s home in Mayfair to celebrate Rellie&amp;#039;s new gig. Now that they&amp;#039;ve snagged a fashion director, which designers would you like to see included on the site? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
