- Sarah Shapiro The intimate apparel market has significant opportunity. As Chantal Fernandez recently reported, only 16.5% of women share that they like their bra. Excited to be quoted in Madeleine Schulz latest piece for Vogue Business on the evolving intimates market. Major opportunity exists to better serve women through different life stages with dedicated marketing and community building. “I’m a fan of speciality retailers that nail fittings exceptionally well,” she says, referencing Rigby & Peller, Bare Necessities and Town Shop. “What I’d love to see next is for one of these to grow even more to be a household name and bring in more brands. We could all really benefit from a one-stop shop for some support and discovery on the best bra fits.” There’s also room for brands to more explicitly cater to different life stages, and dedicate marketing, content and community-building to these, she adds — first bra, body changes during puberty, pregnancy, nursing and postpartum, breast cancer and masectomies, as well as body changes during perimenopause and menopause, among them. “[There’s] so much opportunity to show up and be there for the customer.” Thanks for including my perspective on this evolving market. #retail #fashion #consumerinsights #retailstrategy
- Brittany Sierra During NYCW, a conversation in partnership with Tapestry and Textile Exchange raised an important question: how can the fashion industry better connect consumer interest in sustainability with meaningful action? 🤔 We often talk about the consumer’s power to drive change in sustainable fashion, but do we truly know how to harness that power? (Spoiler alert, we don't 🙊) Real change starts by understanding why people make the choices they do. 💯 As humans, we’re driven by social validation, acceptance, individual expression, belonging, and status. People aren’t just buying products—they’re buying into a lifestyle and vision that aligns with their identity and aspirations. It’s not just about the product; it’s about the community, the world, and the lifestyle the brand represents. Outside of price point and accessibility, fast fashion thrives by tapping into our desire for status, belonging, and instant gratification, creating excitement through novelty and the promise of quick transformation. In sustainable fashion, we often talk about inspiring consumers to make responsible choices. And while many genuinely believe they care about sustainability and are motivated to act, their purchasing habits often tell a different story. The challenge is bridging that gap between intention and action. It’s not enough to simply say ‘buy less, buy better’ or overwhelm people with statistics about waste and environmental harm. We need to evolve the sustainability conversation beyond slogans and focus on the deeper psychology behind purchasing decisions and motivations. We need to design products that resonate with consumers and create experiences they’re excited to be a part of. 🙌🏾 Because even when people care about sustainability, real change happens when their actions align with their values—and that’s where the work begins. 🤓🧠 https://lnkd.in/gXn4JNP4
- Javier Brandwain The new venture, called Authentic Luxury Group, will initially focus on Authentic Brands Group owned luxury and accessible luxury names including: Barneys New York, Judith Leiber Couture, Hervé Léger and Vince. Essentially, the new luxury group plans to serve as an incubator for brand growth through strategic licensing agreements and distribution channels across #fashion, #retail, #digital, #hospitality, #realestate, #art and #travel, according to the joint venture; all related to luxury lifestyle and activities. Perhaps, we are witnessing the emergence of a new luxury powerhouse from the United States, poised to join the ranks of the prestigious luxury conglomerates that dominate the fashion and lifestyle markets from France and Italy. While these European giants have long set the standard, this could signal a shift in the global landscape. Time will reveal if this American contender lead by Authentic Brands Group Jamie Salter & Saks Richard Baker can truly redefine the luxury industry on a global scale (in my personal opinion highly feasible).

- David J. Katz As Tapestry unravels, Is Michael Kors left holding the bag? In a twist that turned heads across the fashion world, a judge has blocked Coach owner Tapestry from buying Capri Holdings Limited, citing the #FTC’s competition concerns. Capri’s marquee brand, Michael Kors, has only deteriorated since the merger was announced—leading many to question the viability of Capri’s future. The market’s reaction was swift and brutal: Capri’s stock, already slumping, took a nosedive, while Tapestry’s shares jumped—a clear “phew” from investors who had qualms about Tapestry inheriting Capri’s challenged portfolio. Here’s why it’s a challenging situation for Capri: Since Michael Kors hit peak revenue in 2016, sales have been sliding, with margins crushed under the weight of excessive discounts. Capri’s operating margins, which once sat at a robust 30%, have now plummeted to below 10%. To top it off, since the deal was announced, Capri’s numbers have gone from bad to worse, with Michael Kors logging its seventh consecutive year-on-year sales decline. Even the higher-end Jimmy Choo and Versace lines have posted declines recently. In contrast, Coach—which faced similar challenges a few years back—has since pulled off a notable turnaround; Kudos to Todd Kahn. The hope was that Tapestry’s team could apply that same playbook to save Michael Kors. But now, with the deal stalled, Capri has to chart its own path or hunt for another buyer. Capri’s options aren’t enviable. The trial testimony cast a harsh light on its current strategy, and investors now demand a credible turnaround plan—and possibly some leadership changes. With shares sinking, the chances of an attractive takeover offer look slim. Ultimately, that discounted Michael Kors bag Capri hoped to pass along is now firmly—and perhaps permanently—in its own hands. "My life has been a tapestry Of rich and royal hue An everlasting vision Of the ever-changing view A wond'rous woven magic In bits of blue and gold A tapestry to feel and see Impossible to hold" "He moved with some uncertainty As if he didn't know Just what he was there for Or where he ought to go Once he reached for something Golden hanging from a tree And his hand came down empty" - “Tapestry” by Carole King - A message for Michael Kors? A message for the #fashion #brand #retail industry.
- Sean Y. Jennie's fashion sense is always on point, and her choice of glasses in these two outfits shows just how impactful the right accessory can be. In the first outfit, the combination of a loose white sweatshirt, wide-legged pajama-style pants, black Crocs, and oversized headphones is given a quirky twist with bold, oversized glasses. These playful glasses balance the loose fit of the clothing, making the casual look stand out. In the second outfit, a fitted white crop top under a brown knit hoodie paired with loose high-waisted jeans and black and white sneakers is elevated with sleek, narrow, dark glasses. These glasses add an edgy, sophisticated vibe, drawing attention to the wearer’s features and turning a casual ensemble into something chic and stylish. These examples show that choosing the right eyewear can significantly enhance your overall look, adding either a playful or sophisticated touch to your style. #Fashion #Eyewear #StyleTips #Fashion #Accessories
