Fashion is an industry built on firsts. It’s not about now, it’s about what’s next. True fashion innovators don’t just stay ahead of the next trend, they set the next trend. Through a combination of intuition, instinct, acumen and creative flair, they keep ahead of the curve — predicting the “next big thing” in fashion and dictating it to consumers before they know what they need or want. But, when it comes to selling those signature styles to the masses — smart retailers know success requires meeting the right customer with the right products at the right time. Selling fashion isn’t simply a transactional experience, it’s a relationship. Building brand loyalty hinges on having a strong connection with the consumer, understanding their needs and meeting them where they are.
