This means reducing your cognitive load, but it is also great for the planet.” For more data on what’s driving today’s style trends, visit our 2024 Style Forecast: https://lnkd.in/ey6-Ti6s #ecommerce #retail #styletrends #2024trends #datainsights

The fashion industry's "contemporary" category is experiencing quite a transformation, as outlined in this insightful article by Fashionista. We all know the consumer landscape has been significantly reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic - and the retail industry must now adapt their offerings to accommodate a consumer with new financial realities and shifting personal needs. Relevant contemporary labels highlighted in this article include Marc by Marc Jacobs, The Donna Karan Company, LLC., Kors by Michael Kors, Vince, alice + olivia, and Theory, servicing the important bridge between luxury and fast-fashion, often offering more timeless and versatile styles. In recent years, the category has seen new participants emerge such as Ganni A/S, Maggie Marilyn, Nanushka, STAUD, and Tibi. However, as aspirational shoppers become more conservative with their spending, and return-to-office policies require consumers to reconsider their professional wardrobes, the contemporary category is poised for reimagination and resurgence. With Macy's recently launched new line On 34th, as well as the evolution of Nordstrom's 1.STATE, we hope to continue to see more fresh and innovative approaches to contemporary fashion.    #consumerinsights #consumertrends #fashion #retail #trends

But there are considerations that brands should take into account, like the different margin structures of home goods and the possibility of licensing out a home goods line rather than making it in-house. In this piece by Danny Parisi, we speak to Keith Granet and Blair carlton of Fred Segal Home.
