💡 Inclusivity in fashion & luxury advertising is more than a trendy buzzword -- it can be a game-changer.💡 But are fashion & luxury brands getting it right…or just scratching the surface? In our latest JMA Radio episode, we sit down with Morgan Gregory to discuss what it takes for brands to go beyond performative representation & how to aim for true diversity in their content. As the co-founder of Alltold.ai, Morgan lays out how their AI-driven approach helps brands uncover hidden inclusivity blind spots & elevate their messaging authentically -- while also driving bottom line results 📈 As part of this discussion, we utilized the Alltold platform to analyze a set of videos sourced from the brands featured in the Lyst Top 20 in order to see how the hottest brands stack up when it comes to representation. With 1K+ human characters detected, we processed along six of the core identity dimensions* to understand what we’re doing well when it comes to inclusivity…and to pinpoint the biggest opportunities for growth. The analysis also revealed the brands that are leading the way -- including insight into how New Balance’s thoughtful choices in casting have played a key role in their meteoric growth, as well as an example from Loewe that demonstrates that true inclusivity is more than just skin deep. Massive shout-out to Ashley Vernola, Shannon Mulligan, Gaby Katten & Mason Lawrence for their work producing this episode, and even bigger shouts to Morgan for joining us to discuss all things ‘Fashion Inclusivity’... *gender expression, age, skin tone, observed sexual orientation, body size, & visible disability. #fashion #inclusivity #ai #lyst https://lnkd.in/eZ3YTab8

I’m new to exploring beauty marketing for men and want your thoughts. Here’s what I’ve noticed: The beauty industry is reintroducing men, but many brands still rely on outdated, hyper-masculine stereotypes. Instead, there’s an opportunity to create authentic campaigns that embrace inclusivity and celebrate self-care for everyone, free from labels. How would you approach this? #meninbeauty #inclusivity #beautymarketing

What is sexy now? This is the big question for Victorias Secret marketing team as they attempt a market share recapture highlighted by a "star-studded" fashion show held three days ago. How did they loose their appeal and ubiquitous presence of the 2000's and early 2010's? Victorias Secret presented the prime definition of sexy at the brand's peak. Their fashion show was watched in over 200 countries and their models, " their Angels", offered the biggest appeal for magazine covers. But every brand strategy will fail if not reinvented over time, especially as the once too young enter the market and define how they like their world to feel. Events of the mid 2010s had sparked a clamour for inclusivity. If you're still wondering, they were the fight for LGBTQ+ acceptance, the emphasis on body positivity, the struggle for racial inclusion, transgender rights and religious inclusivity led by the fight against Islamophobia. All these defined this period. But everything in the world was changing except Victorias Secret's "definition of sexy". The white, slim, tall figure still catwalked their runways in exclusivity. A fierce defiance to the raging new struggle. In all such cases, the market will speak and in a language brands understand. It did. By 2019, viewership of Victorias Secret Fashion Show had so plummeted it had to be discontinued. With the rise of all inclusive brands such as Rihanna 's Savage X Fenty, market share began to dwindled. Their brand strategy refused to align with the changing times and it was paying the price. Their 'sin' in the minds of people was that "they were promoting unhealthy beauty standards". If you're plus size, you're not beautiful and we have no place for you. Same if you're black, pregnant and so on. Zero inclusivity. Lessons: The world will continue to change, sometimes subtly, sometimes sharply. We must watch and listen. No one strategy is fit for all times. Brand strategies must continue to align if we must not be left behind. I like Victorias Secret current resurgence effort. I like the courage and the positivity in their approach. It is really making for an interesting watch to see what the outcome will look like. I really wish them luck
