A $2.7m day: luxury brands and the green shoots of recovery
I spoke early in this crisis about why I thought closing up completely was an error as we must ensure there is an industry to come back to.

Leading by Example: Why it’s great to see luxury brands stepping up
Our sector of the market has been hit hard and will continue to feel the effects of this current crisis, with estimations suggesting it could cost the fashion and luxury market $600 billion in sales.

Why Travel Retail must not let Covid-19 stop investment

The Experience Factor
Every successful store is now filled with stands and displays which offer shoppers the chance to interact with the products. For travellers this an opportunity to discover something new or indulge in a moment of entertainment while they wait for their flight. For brands and retailers it creates the chance to make an extra sale or increase the size of the basket. With digital putting the pressure on pricing and ease of purchase, experience is becoming the golden ticket for physical stores
