Michael Kors' #merchandising team selectively applies animated badges to collection cards for featured products ⭐ Think this could work well for #dtc #cpg brands in the health/wellness space or where important attributes aren't obvious from the picture (featured ingredients, "made without" etc) The transparency enables more words for a "product label" without completely obscuring the image as well What do you think? #ecommerce #fashion #UXUI #webdesign

Fake, and now superfake, luxury goods are an increasing problem, exacerbated by online groups with no verification or accountability. When we purchase fake fashion products it hurts many people and it is ILLEGAL. One of the benefits of purchasing from trusted and reputable platforms and retail stores is you know you're buying the real product. It is true a lot of small street seller also make a living selling fake goods, but can they not be selling other products instead? It's the demand which feeds the supply. With Visional Commerce you can have peace of mind we only sell from trustworthy retail stores with real authentic products. https://lnkd.in/g6GB4vCi #shopping #brands #authentic #local #retail #stores #trust #NoToFakes #LocalFirst

Last week, the retail industry was buzzing with the news that Victoria’s Secret & Co.’s fashion show is coming back. First introduced in 2004, the annual fashion show was put on hiatus in 2019 after the show reported its lowest-ever ratings in 2018. This coincided with a decline in revenues and several major store closures. In my latest article for Inside Retail US, I write about the lingerie retailer's current state in the market and consult with retail experts Marie Driscoll, CFA and Liza Amlani on whether or not the return of the fashion show indicates a new turn for the brand.

“Most of my time today is spent on non-core issues not relating to the brand. I need to be able to fully focus my attention back on retailing and building the brand."

🌏 What is the New York Fashion Act, why do we need it and how can we support it? The Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act is a ground-breaking piece of legislation driving mandatory social and environmental due diligence for brands selling in New York. Today, on May 7th, supporters will show up in Albany to make some noise, and urge legislators to pass the bill. So, what should the Fashion Act do? ➡ Mandate that companies know and disclose their supply chains: the Fashion Act requires companies to map their supply chain down to their raw material providers. ➡ Require companies wishing to sell to the New York market to, at a minimum, set and achieve science based targets in line with the Paris Agreement.   ➡ Require companies to work with their suppliers to effectively manage their chemical use. ➡ Measurably improve the lives of garment workers As one of the largest economies in the world, and a global fashion capital, New York has the opportunity – and moral responsibility – to hold fashion companies accountable to the planet and its people and help drive global change to the industry. It's time to #ActOnFashion. Maxine Bédat Ken Pucker

🦍 Guerilla…errr Graffitti Marketing isn’t dead. Hailey Beiber’s beauty brand rhode skin is expected to hit $100 MILLION in revenue this year, 10xing since it’s launch just 2 years ago. Sooo... why was the brand spray painting their logo across NYC's Lower East Side? Marketing today isn’t just online…today's brands NEED to have an omnichannel strategy to stand out both online and in real life. What do you think of this campaign? #communitymarketing #grassrootsmarketing #haileybieber #rhode #LES #authenticmarketing
