Rise of the Millennial fitness geek: The wearable tech factor

I’m often suspicious of surveys that come from product manufacturers or special interest groups. It’s amazing how many surveys show that, say, people want to eat more cheese or wear more wool and the surveys just happen to come from the body representing the cheese industry or the biggest manufacturer of wool products! But this…

Oscars 2016: Who won the red carpet race (and who lost)?

Effortless, cool, hardly a foot wrong. Those were some the descriptions of the the dresses on the red carpet last night and I have to agree. Even Tina Fey, who often gets it wrong, looked great. In some ways it felt more low-key than usual but the lack of really OTT dresses was a plus as there…

Marni AW16: What’s not to like?

I’m a big fan of Marni. It’s one of those labels that goes its own way and is all the better for it. Not that this always makes it the most popular of the Milan Fashion Week labels. Just compare the reaction to its H&M collaboration a few years ago. Strong seller though it was,…

Prada AW16 part 2: The shoes & accessories you’ll want next season

Prada is above all a footwear and accessories label so however much we obsess over the clothes (and however much the retail industry jumps on every detail for inspiration), it’s the bags, the shoes, the sunglasses and the belts that really matter. I’ve already dealt with the clothes in Part One of this report, so…

Prada AW16 part 1: Mad mash-up or cleverly commercial?

“I thought of it as like someone who has all the clothes she’s ever had on the floor in front of her in the morning and she must choose how she’s going to assemble herself.” That’s what Miuccia Prada said of the AW16 collection she and her team showed in Milan yesterday. And if Miuccia…

M-commerce: Tablets and phones now bigger than shopping via laptop in UK

This is it. The moment when consumers (in the UK at least) bought more products online using mobile devices than ‘regular’ computers for the first time ever. From November to January, m-commerce made up 51% of e-sales (up from 45% in the previous three months and up from 40% a year ago), the IMRG Capgemini…

Gucci AW16: The accessories key items

With all the fuss about Gucci’s clothing collection, it’s sometimes hard to remember that this is a label that’s really all about accessories – bags, hats, belts, even key fobs, and to a lesser extent, shoes. So what’s the story for AW16 on this front?

Gucci AW16: What you need to know now

OK, Milan has started so now the serious trend spotting begins as fashion’s big guns are wheeled out. And where better to start than Gucci? Today’s show was… well, predictable really. Not that this is a criticism. Since being appointed just over a year ago, Alessandro Michele has imprinted his vision on Gucci so completely…

Wearable Tech: Sales are up but is mass fashion still a pipe dream?

The global wearable device market took a big step forward in Q4, but are we any closer to a world in which wearables are a sic-fi-like part of our everyday clothing? Hmmm. Not really. But that’s not to say wearables aren’t becoming more important to us.

Chinese tourists: Numbers up and their spend is up even more

The importance of Chinese tourist spending to retail around the world has become even clearer with China’s Ministry of Commerce saying over 120m of its citizens travelled abroad last year, 12% more than in 2014. And Chinese President Xi Jinping thinks the number will reach 500m by 2020.
