Why don’t fashion houses and stores do a preview of what is coming/ Follow up with a presale. If something is going to be a blow-out they get an inside note on how much they are selling. They can either upscale on close out an item at a certain quantity. To further their sales have a sales force dedicated to mid-range products. Even better service comes when you move from mid-range, to high end. There can be some items for everyone, but general public gets a certain level of customer care to make long term relationships. Also don’t do influencers, find people who are admirable for choices, community engagement. I was over influencers before they were a thing.
If current ways of selling no longer works, find a new way or inventiveness to entice customers. Right now, in the USA, we are in an economic crunch. Grocery bills are out of sight, we are thrift buying, and trying to stay ahead of our rent payments. It is really tough. We also have a horrendous election in November, and we are scrapping the bottom of the barrel as far as candidates.
Wow. Remake's report is more than a little jaw-dropping. Best that a fashion house can do is less than 1/3 of the total points available. This further underscores the environmental/social/governance hot mess that is the fashion industry. Juxtapose this against the obscene excess just demonstrated at runway shows during Fashion Month, and it's like the brands A) don't get it and B) don't care.
Companies are only incentivized to think about the bottom line... What really needs to happen -- and I have no idea how it does -- is a large-scale reevaluation of our relationships to the planet, each other, and our things.
100%. The whole industry needs to re-think how it operates. Especially when you also pointed out how much excess inventory designer brands have that they destroy. The whole thing is more than a little nuts.
Rihanna performed at the Ambani/Merchant pre-wedding festivities. The wedding itself takes place inJuly. Im sorry that I know this, but I went right down the rabbit hole into the weird and wild world of Indian rich people and wedding customs. These people have no interest in quiet luxury.

Oh, thank you, my mistake -- who didn't go down this rabbit hole...
Amy, wouldn’t stores/luxury businesses by now know what sizes the make too many of and stop making those sizes? Isn’t that a basic business concept?
Such a beautiful wedding with an interesting Indian flavor. I wish I was invited!
