ThisIsRetail #13
Welcome to edition thirteen of ThisIsRetail, our meticulously hand-picked collection of the most interesting ideas, innovations, and insight from the global retail, fashion, and tech industries... and other loosely-related stuff we feel compelled to share.
We have seven of the best for you this week, including a look at some of the ingredients going into Primark's trend-bucking special sauce, the battle between tech innovation and novelty in the beauty industry, a long read on how J. Crew's vision of preppy America faded, and consider how soon robots will be able to manipulate objects like humans (if this is anything to go by, we have a little time).
Onwards!
At Retail Management Consultants, we make great things happen for forward-thinking retail organisations.
We see the immense connectivity of the modern world and are hell-bent on enabling our clients to seize the opportunities it presents.
Let's talk. Let's make it great.
