What do you think will be the next must-have footwear style/brand? This week, two telling reports were released, indicating that the marketplace is primed for the next big footwear trend. The first is StockX’s “State of Resale” report, which examines shifts in consumer resale preferences. The second is Stifel’s 17th Annual Back-to-School Athletic Footwear Survey.

Here’s a great snapshot of the considerations affecting procurement in apparel and footwear. 👕👟  CPOs in the sector have a lot to weigh up, like geopolitical disruption, global trade issues, tough competition, and new regulations – all factors that can impact the best supply chain decisions.     A standout point for me is the growing ambition among brands to use recycled materials in the coming years; a move that stands to have regulatory, commercial, and – of course – environmental benefits.    #Sustainability #Apparel #Footwear #Procurement #Growth

As the SS25 shows conclude, we're sharing our 10 Studio Key Footwear Trends with our clients today. These are the standout trends we believe will have strong commercial potential and are central to our design focus. The shows overall reflected a strong sense of optimism, with a noticeable shift towards formal dressing after streetwear and casual styles dominated for so long. This was particularly evident at street level. While Boho is the season’s buzzword, its influence on footwear is less clear compared to accessories and apparel. As for heels versus flats, the flat trend feels saturated, with little innovation, while heels are exciting again, aligning with the return to formal dressing. #fashionweek #ss25 #footweartrends
