🚀 Thrilled to share my contribution to the latest article on FashionUnited about the challenges and triumphs of maintaining concept stores in Spain. In the piece, I discuss how concept stores like Dover Street Market and Merci have become tourist destinations due to their unique curations. As I mentioned, "In a globalized market, it's increasingly difficult to surprise people. This exclusivity requires higher margins to sustain the business model."

In today’s ever-evolving e-commerce landscape, these are all excellent arguments and mindsets. But the critical question remains: "What’s next?" And then, "What if?" Is it time to start scenario planning and risk management? What If? What if the next big play doesn’t come from a native of e-commerce? What if the next major disruptor emerges from a completely different industry? Gaming, VR, IR? What if all this consolidation and uncertainty makes the sector ripe for a BIG gamer or tech giant looking to balance their portfolio or diversify their revenue streams? Is that so implausible? #Ecommerce #Innovation #Gaming #TechDisruption #Diversification #ScenarioPlanning #RiskManagement #VR #IR #Consolidation #FutureOfRetail #BOF #VogueBusiness

Why the acquisition of YOOX NET-A-PORTER by Mytheresa is good news for fashion brands, according to some industry observers. “At a time when top luxury brands are successfully repatriating their online sales therefore weakening multibrand distribution, It will be reassuring for middle size and and niche players that a powerful and luxury-focused online multibrand leader emerges,” Bruno-Roland Bernard, professor of finance and luxury economics at Institut Français de la Mode says. Some industry sources are questioning the logic of market concentration. “Concentration is never good for market efficiency but in this instance Net-a-Porter was in survival mode,” Bernard adds. In other words, brands are better off with NET-A-PORTER still standing, and boosted by Mytheresa’s efficient technology and operations than with an ailing Net-a-Porter.

When we started #BananaClub, we didn’t want to just sell clothes - we wanted to create something that mattered. We saw a clear gap in the market: luxury that felt out of reach for most people and fast fashion that didn’t last. We knew we could do things differently. Our goal was simple: to offer high-quality, well-designed pieces that people could feel good about wearing without having to pay a premium price. We’re not just about making a sale; we’re about changing the way people think about fashion. At #BananaClub, it’s all about combining style with substance. Each piece is something we want people to feel proud to wear, something that lasts, and something that doesn’t break the bank. We are creating a #brand that people can trust to deliver quality, style, and value. That’s the real mission. #BananaClub #QualityFirst #BrandMission Prashant Lalwani
