UPCOMING TRENDS IN FASHION RETAIL
JUST A GROUP
The UK is slightly behind mainland Europe in regard to the demand for sustainability, but we are seeing a shift in buying patterns toward this critical element of our industry. We are now always pleased to see brands growing this element within their collections. To reflect this change, we have just taken on our most responsible brand yet, Nobody’s Child, which has been embraced by the majority of high-profile retailers in a short space of time.
STUDIO ZETA
Fashion is changing rapidly, highlighting new trends and the undeniable coexistence with digital technology. However, one of the most important aspects will undoubtedly be the end customer's increasing focus on eco-friendly and sustainable brands. We rigorously assess the supply chain of new brands, focusing on the origin of fabrics, the production processes, and the environmental impact of their products. We have ceased using fur and synthetic leather due to their harmful environmental effects, instead re-proposing real leather products that are natural and more environmentally sustainable.
HAEBMAU. ATELIER
We see a growing understanding from the brand side of the importance of exploring the shopfloor to relate with the clients. In a digital-driven world, when clients are physically in a store, they have a stronger attention span than when shopping via a cellphone or laptop. So, retail marketing became a key aspect.
PANORAMA MODA
The shopping experience is becoming increasingly important. Customers expect it to be tailored specifically to them and, most importantly, demand the ability to satisfy their needs digitally as well. For this reason, we are advancing towards greater digitalization, keeping up with the times by creating a digital showroom.
SOHO GROUP
Menswear is gaining momentum in the fashion industry, with clients becoming more fashion-forward with their style choices. This presents an ideal opportunity for our trade partner in the Middle East, the brand Amiri, as it offers a unique blend of tailored pieces with a casual twist, providing a fresh take on men's fashion.
10ELEVEN
We believe this business is built on relationships – between 10eleven and brands, between our showroom and retailers, and most importantly, between retailers and their customers. We will continue to work closely with our designers to bring in-demand products to our retailers.
LA MODE AGENCY
Sustainability and local production are definitely growing, but customer experience and service will still be key for us.
THE CLOTHETTE
Fashion retail trends highlight vibrant, eye-catching pieces like those from Thinking MU, and sophisticated outdoor styles with technical, durable materials from brands like Elliker and Norse Projects. The art of layering, creating dynamic looks with multiple layers, is featured by Wooden Store and Pompeii. Despite a slight dip in sustainability interest due to the rise in second-hand shopping, efforts are focused on more colorful, eco-friendly designs, especially from Thinking MU and Rita Row. There is a shift toward classic, high-quality investments, with consumers preferring to buy less but better, favoring brands such as Belstaff and Le Minor.
