💡 THOUGHT LEADERSHIP IS BACK with "The Moment of Truth" by Eric Feigenbaum, Media RDI! Fashion is a bookmark of culture; it chronicles our heritage and the changing times. Retail is a reflection of fashion; it also documents the spirit of the day. If one were to hold a mirror to the face of retail, the reflected image would be us. Accordingly, retail’s most dynamic tools, visual merchandising, and store design, share equivalent reflective qualities with the runways of fashion; they too chronicle our times, our values, and our aspirations. Analogously, if fashion is the standard-bearer of our times, then architecture is the embodiment of the day.             Moshe Safdie, the world-renowned architect whose many memorable projects include Habitat 67 in Montreal, the Marina Bay Sands resort on the Singapore waterfront, and Missouri’s Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, famously said,  “Architecture should be rooted in the past, and yet be part of our own time and forward-looking.” While architecture is an important component of any retail endeavor, it should be noted that retail, in its glorious interaction with architecture, must also be rooted in the past, and yet be part of the present with an eye toward the future.
