Het is een grote frustratie onder beginnende rechters en officieren van justitie: de scheefgroei tussen het inkomen van beginnende rechters en officieren. Het probleem is bekend en de wil om het aan te pakken is er ook, maar toch wil het maar niet lukken de salarissen recht te trekken. Arbeidsmarktredacteur Elfanie toe Laer vertelt waar het misgaat. Lees: Het OM en de rechterlijke macht balen van eigen loonkloof  ING en Rabobank verstrekten afgelopen jaar meer financiering aan fossiele bedrijven dan in 2022, zo blijkt uit een maandag verschenen onderzoeksrapport. Redacteur Marceline Bresson, die voor het FD onder meer schrijft over het klimaatbeleid van bedrijven, legt uit hoe die financieringen in zijn werk gaan en waarom de toename opvallend is. Lees: Toename fossiele financiering door ING en Rabobank   Consumenten die het internet afstruinen voor luxeproducten hebben binnenkort minder te kiezen. Het rommelt namelijk bij luxe webwinkels. Zo staat het Britse platform Matchesfashion sinds maart onder curatele en ook het online platform Farfetch moest van de ondergang gered worden door de Koreaanse webwinkelgigant Coupang. Retailredacteur Julia Cornelissen vertelt waarom de toekomst van de luxe webwinkels er drastisch anders uit zal gaan zien.

We mark the close of our seventh season with a return visit from Ira Kalish, Deloitte's Chief Global economist, who helps us look back at how 2023 unfolded and gives us a glimpse into the macro-economic outlook for the year ahead. In a wide ranging conversation we delve into the possibility for a soft-landing, when we might start to see interest cuts, and the overall prospects for important global economies. We also discuss prospects for a thawing in the housing market, the potential looming crisis in commercial real estate, and a whole lot more.But we kick things off with a fast-paced review of the most important retail news, including the continued string of positive economic reports and what it might mean for the holiday season. Then we move on to quite a lot of activity in the luxury e-commerce space as Farfetch gets saved by coupang and MatchesFashion get acquired by the UK's Frasers Group. We conclude by dissecting quarterly earnings from JC Penney and Nike.*********************************Join Steve on January 9th at 11am EST for a special webinar on how to get the most out of the NRF's Big Show.

Clare Hornby's 14-year-old fashion brand, Me+Em, has hit its stride. From 2021 to 2022, it grew its revenue from £46 million to £80 million. What's more, it's been profitable for seven years. That's despite selling exclusively direct-to-consumer, when, it seems, every digital native brand is falling back on wholesale partners.  "It was when I started building out the team that you started to see the [business's] acceleration," Hornby said on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. It's worth noting that MatchesFashion investor Highland Europe bought a minority stake in the company in early 2022. Me+Em, which specializes in "flattering, functional, forever" women's clothing, has opened seven stores in the U.K., where it is headquartered. But now, its focus is on U.S. expansion. Starting in March, it will open two stores in NYC, followed by one in the Hamptons, in rapid succession. The plan is to follow those up with fourth and fifth locations soon after. “We like you to bring in your dog, bring in your kid and bring in your partner, and we like you to dwell,” Hornby said. “As a result, our stores [form] communities, all by themselves.”

Roxanne Assoulin has been in the jewelry business for over 40 years. But, thanks to its reliance on bold colors and youthful designs, her 7-year-old namesake brand feels as fresh as ever. Prior to launching her own brand, Assoulin designed for major brands like Michael Kors and had her jewelry sold in major department stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Her current brand took off thanks to boosts from influencers like Leandra Medine, who happens to be a friend of the family. “We never paid influencers,” Assoulin said on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. “Leandra had dated my son when she, like, 17. She's best friends with my daughter-in-law. I asked her to come to the office and tell me what she thought of what I was working on, and she took some pictures. I said, ‘Don't post those pictures anywhere,' and she said, ‘No worries, no worries.” That night, she posted them.” The early buzz helped propel the brand, which grew 300% between 2017 and 2018. Now, Roxanne Assoulin is carried by both online retailers like MatchesFashion and brick-and-mortar stores like Nordstrom. But in many ways, Assoulin said she's still figuring out where to take the brand next. She characterized herself as a “gut person,” who focuses on her own creative sense to help guide the business through challenges like the pandemic and the current decreased spending caused by inflation. For this week's Glossy Podcast, she spoke with Glossy editor-in-chief Jill Manoff about this philosophy, as well as her work with influencers, her history in the business and the inspiration behind her colorful jewelry.

Happy New Year, and Welcome to what is sure to be a dynamic 2023 for Resale.Let's start with Glossy's article, The state of resale in 2023: Competition, consolidation and a push for profitability. The piece assessed players from The RealReal to Treet and summarized with “twin challenges of an overcrowded market and the growing expectation for profitability will be difficult to overcome.”A critical element is missing in this assessment. The distinction between The RealReal, which is a third-party marketplace building its brand and customer base, and Treet a service provider aimed at supporting brands who are adding resale to their existing business.Third-party marketplaces, such as The RealReal, Thredup, Poshmark (now part of South Korean internet conglomerate Naver Corp.), and Vestiaire Collective, are retailers who focus on their brand and build a profitable customer base. They exist in a reasonably mature market, and most players are now public. Vestiaire is the exception, who just raised $80B in debt as they work toward profitability. While there is room for a few players in the space, it is overcrowded today. Given the lack of profitability and the economic climate, valuations are lowered, and more consolidation is to be expected. In this part of the industry, Glossy is right on the money.Service providers, such as Trove, Recurate, Archive, Reflaunt, and Treet, are not building a customer-facing brand or a loyal customer base. They are service providers who support brands whose items are being resold on marketplaces such as The RealReal the Thredup. This part of the industry is far less mature and is poised for incredible innovation and growth as more brands enter Resale and work to scale their offerings.Scale will be the test for the service providers as the brands mature and look for more scale, but it's likely too early for consolidation here. That will be in 2024 and beyond.The second Glossy article, What to expect from fashion rental in 2023, details the up and down year for rental in 2022, including new brand launches into rental such as Marks and Spencer, John Lewis, and MatchesFashion all launched rental while both Ann Taylor and Banana Republic quietly shut down their rental programs.Rental is a new customer behavior, and brands must determine if rental is right for their brand. Customers aren't going to want separate rental programs for every brand and need in their wardrobe. Hence these programs will likely make sense for multi-brand retailers such as Rent the Runway, Selfridges, Nordstrom, or REI and possibly for specific use cases such as Burton's rental kit, including snowboard, boots, bindings, and outerwear for hitting the ski slopes. The Key TakeawaysIf your brand is exploring different circular models such as rental, think about the value for your customers over the long term. Brands will learn the most as they enter the space in the most customer-centric way for their products.Brands need to be aware of who they ‘partner' with as customers look for more preowned options. Third-Party Marketplaces, such as ThredUP need to build their brand and loyal customer base and are not aligned to do the same for a brand.Subscribe to The Resale Edit Newsletter Here: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6966761821013753856/

In the past decade, the independent label has grown from downtown storefront to indie force with $40 million in net sales so far this year. BoF contributor M.C. Nanda breaks down how founder Gaëlle Drevet did it. Background: Whether you know it or not, you've come across The Frankie Shop. Founded by former journalist Gaëlle Drevet in 2014, the brand's monochrome tracksuits, oversized blazers, T-shirts and cargo pants have become almost ubiquitous amongst a certain set of Instagram creators, and a staple for downtown fashion types across the globe. Over the past few years, the brand has expanded from a single Lower East Side Manhattan store front, to three (including two in Paris), inked retail partnerships with Matchesfashion and Ssense, and generated $40 million in net sales so far this year. Now, The Frankie Shop is charting its next phase of growth, with expansion into menswear and home. “There is consistent demand — they're not over extending themselves, which I think can be a really hard brand to toe as a brand of this size,” said BoF contributor M.C. Nanda. Key Insights: The Frankie Shop started as a multi-brand store carrying up-and-coming brands that are now industry mainstays, including Ganni and Loulou Studio.Drevet soon started producing her own items. Her label took off partially because of her ability to stay attuned to, and draw in influencers with newness and keen styling — without having to resort to paid posts. The brand has managed to toe the lines between cool and cheesy, high end and accessible, basic and trendy. Often, items are paired with pieces from higher end labels like Toteme and The Row. The Frankie Shop operates on a drop model, which has kept it in demand and helped the independent brand grow in a manageable way without taking on additional funding.

After years of speculation, designer e-tailers are finally consolidating in an effort to increase profits and gain market share. BoF's Robert Williams and Tamison O'Connor unpack what's in store for major players including Farfetch, YNAP and MatchesFashion.  Background:  The launch of Net-a-Porter in 2000 changed fashion forever, heralding the first phase of luxury e-commerce, and inspiring a slew of competitors to get in the game. But in an increasingly competitive market, e-tailers have struggled to retain pricing power and turn a profit. Now, the space is starting to see some consolidation. In August, Farfetch took a stake in Yoox-Net-a-Porter Group, which laid the groundwork for an eventual acquisition, and allowed Richemont to offload the platform — which had long weighed on its portfolio.  “This deal is a pretty major step for Farfetch in terms of setting up the platform to solidify a dominant position… YNAP was Farfetch's biggest competitor,” said Tamison O'Connor, BoF luxury correspondent.  Key Insights:  As part of the deal, Farfetch acquired a 47.5 percent stake in YNAP, in an agreement that contains provisions for a full acquisition within a full year. Farfetch will power YNAP's technology, and sell YNAP inventory — including Richemont brands — on its own platform.  E-commerce can be hard. Farfetch is attractive to brands because it offers back-end management, stock management and connection to the company's fulfilment logistics network, at a time when brands are struggling to wrangle their supply chains due to macroeconomic challenges.  Brands are getting better at creating curated universes on their own sites, and that could end up hurting multi-brand e-tailers, who have set big growth expectations with investors. Farfetch has struggled to build a brand to match its business ambitions, where players like Mytheresa, Matches and Net-a-Porter — while facing their own challenges — have stronger identities.  Additional Resources: Richemont, Farfetch and YNAP: Understanding a Transformational E-Commerce Deal: The Swiss luxury group is spinning off Yoox Net-a-Porter in a joint venture with Farfetch. What does it mean for Richemont, Farfetch, YNAP and the luxury industry at large? BoF dissects the deal. Inside Farfetch's Bid to Dominate Luxury E-Commerce — Download the Case Study: During a blockbuster year for online sales, Farfetch surged ahead of rivals to position itself at the front of luxury's e-commerce race. Can it spin the current momentum into sustainable — and profitable — growth and become the unrivalled platform for luxury fashion online?

BoF correspondents Chavie Lieber and Daniel-Yaw Miller discuss why fashion brands are making products for sports like pickleball, padel, ruby, boxing and skiing.      Background:    Two decades ago, Lululemon built its brand around yoga — then considered counter culture. Today, it's a $6 billion behemoth that makes products for everything from running to swimming and tennis, becoming a model for upstarts like Gymshark and Nobull hoping to filch market share from giants like Nike and Adidas. Now, as sports like pickleball, padel and skiing are gaining traction, there's yet another opportunity for start-ups to disrupt the activewear market. “If you go niche and focus on a very specific customer base with a very specific niche following, that might be a better way to crack activewear as opposed to selling everything for the masses — then you're going head to head with Lululemon and Nike,” said BoF correspondent Chavie Lieber.       Key Insights:  Instead of going after the activewar space in general, brands are serving underrepresented groups or making noise with differentiated products and price points.  A few brands, like Gymshark and District Vision have succeeded by identifying strong communities and putting themselves at the centre of them.  The activewear market represents a massive opportunity for brands: global sportswear is expected to grow to $395 billion by 2025, at an annual rate of 8 to 10 percent, according to McKinsey.  Brands are tapping into the desire to look good while playing sports like pickleball, rugby and boxing. They are poised to benefit from and buzz surrounding events like the 2028 Olympics and 2031 and 2033 Rugby World Cup, which will be held in the US.  Skiwear exploded last winter: Matchesfashion's sales of men's ski were up 30 percent, while Farfetch stocked 190 percent more skiwear this year. Luxury brands, specifically, are capitalising on the trend by selling statement pieces like goggles or branded skis.    Additional resources:  The Hunt for Activewear's Next Big Category Activewear's Biggest Disruptors The Race to Develop the Best Sports Bra   Follow The Debrief wherever you listen to podcasts.    Join BoF Professional today with our exclusive podcast listener discount of 25% off an annual membership, follow the link here and enter the coupon code ‘debrief' at checkout.    Want more from The Business of Fashion?

Sandrine Deveaux has always been at the vanguard of the digital retail revolution, having spotted the potential for luxury fashion to embrace technology to bridge the gap between the physical and the digital realms many years before it became a mainstream pursuit.Her career in luxury fashion began with Matchesfashion, helping to launch what was then an independent retailer into a global online force.  After that she moved to luxury department store Harvey Nichols before meeting founder of Farfetch, the great visionary Jose Neves.She joined Neves in his groundbreaking business which gives the world’s best fashion boutiques access to a global market through its platform.  Farfetch also works with leading luxury players, such as Chanel and its own boutique Browns, helping them to enhance the luxury shopping experience through the application of digital technology.As Executive Vice President of Future Retail at Farfetch, it is Sandrine’s job to head up this side of the business.Sandrine speaks to Lauretta Roberts, Editor in chief of TheIndustry.fashion about why luxury boomed during the pandemic, how consumer behaviour has changed for good, and why, despite being a digital retail trailblazer, she still believes in a bright future for physical retailers.

Jane de boy c'est une petite boutique bohème-chic du Cap Ferret qui propose à une clientèle privilégiée des marques de créateurs tels qu'Isabel Marant, Forte Forte, Iro, Maison Margiela, Majestic Filature, Roseana, Mother et bien d'autres... Une véritable caverne d'ali baba dans laquelle le chill est à son niveau maximum, à l'image de la péninsule. Crée il y a 22 ans par Marie Diard, Jane de Boy c'est également une boutique à Arcachon et un lieu de vie unique en son genre en plein centre de Bordeaux. Une boutique-appartement qui propose une véritable expérience shopping dans un espace de plus de 200m². Un concept store dans le sens premier du terme, pensé comme un cabinet de curiosités d'un nouveau genre, où se retrouvent les dernières collections de plus de 240 créateurs mode et lifestyle. De la mode aux bijoux, en passant par les chaussures, parfums et objets de décoration.  Pourtant ces 3 points de ventes ne représentent que 40% du chiffre d'affaires de l'enseigne. Le reste se réalise sur leur site internet www.janedeboy.com, un ratio très important pour un magasin multimarques. Porté par l'ambition de ses fondateurs, Jane de Boy s'oriente de plus en plus vers le digital à l'instar de grands noms comme Lulli sur la toile, Matchesfashion à Londres ou encore My-Theresa à Munich qui vient d'être valorisé à 3,8 milliards de dollars à la bourse de NYC. Alors comment passer d'un multimarques physique à un géant du digital ?  Nous nous sommes entretenus avec Georges sur sa stratégie, sa vision du marché et les coulisses de cette métamorphose.

Building a Sustainable Brand and Community to Promote Sustainability in Fashion and Life-style industries for a Healthy Environment and Better Future   Introduction of Fox-Holt - Sustainable Brand and Community Dale and Katy met when they were thrown into Texas at the same time in the same building.  Their kids connected and while their kids played together, Dale and Katy bonded over money spend over the holidays and their passion for sustainability in fashion, the longevity of products, and the desire to purchase ethical products. Fashion is a slow movement and so Dale and Katy adopted that flow as they dove into a meeting and processing their designers and artisans and ethical trade. Katy and Dale realized quickly how much they needed to learn. Sustainability covers such a huge range, and different levels mean different things to different people and how it affects an overall community. As the two realized this, it changed their trajectory as they wanted to build a community, not just a store. Building the Foundation of Fox-Holt Dale and Katy took the time to build a strong foundation.  They didn't rush into the business they build a foundation first for long-term success. The foundation of the Fox-Holt brand is built on what it means to be sustainable. From there they built relationships with vendors and customers. Sustainability In the fashion industry, there are several types of sustainability. Recycling, upcycling, and so on. Dale and Katy knew they wanted to have a vintage section. Dale knew James Veloria so they partnered with him right away. Recycled products using recycled materials. They have 9 stamps of sustainability that determined how they selected products.  Every product must fall under at least two sustainability stamps. Sustainability is doing the best you can to make as little footprint on the world as possible. To make the best difference possible. The small things that you can do to make a big impact on the world. Upcycling Taking something and creating something new from it. The Nine Stamps of Sustainability The sustainability stamps of Fox-Holt include being organic, eco-friendly, vegan, made in the USA, Fairtrade, hand-made/artisan, recycled, and/or giving back. Naming the Business Volpe means fox and Dale has always had an affinity to foxes because of the meaning of her name. Katy's surname is Rowley and means, wooded in or fox's den. Another word for that is Holt.  They are working to protect their planet as a fox defends his den, so it blends beautifully. Selecting Vendors The key is to build sustainable relationships. As they researched vendors from around the world, they selected vendors who believed in their mission, were like-minded, and were willing to partner with them. Fox-Holt is a marketplace. They don't hold inventory. This method cuts out the middleman and shipping and prevents waste from items that aren't sold. They are female founder collective members. Brands now contact Fox-Holt instead of Dale and Katy having to research them. They are always moving in a direction that is ethically sound and that they love. One of their first vendors and a favorite, is St. Roche, out of LA.  And a second favorite is Bastet Noir, from Macedonia. How Can You Be More Mindful and Practice Sustainability? Think about who made the product. Why is it so cheap, did a child make it, or someone who is only making $0.50 a day? When you spend more money on a purchase, it changes your perspective.  It becomes something you'll still have in ten years. Reuse what you have in your closet and add to it instead of throwing away the old stuff. Add creative fun to your existing wardrobe. It comes down to educating yourself. Declutter, have less stuff, and lean towards simplifying. Buy things that will last and can be passed down to future generations. Make small changes and don't worry about being perfect. Remember every little bit helps. Spend time learning what you are buying and who you are buying it from. It's an awakening and changes the way you shop altogether. About Dale and Kat Dale Volpe As a vegan and a motivated, artistic force, Dale Volpe aims to represent and serve the sustainably-minded shopper; those who seek quality pieces but also seek to nurture the planet. She believes strongly in educating consumers specifically about how “fashion” choices affect the environment and the future of our children. Volpe worked for Calvin Klein post-college (approximately 100 years ago), before becoming the National Merchandise Manager for a licensee of Ralph Lauren. She went on to Moschino as a Showroom Account Executive and found her first real calling when she began styling private clients for years following that. After moving to Texas and starting a family, Volpe found a space lacking in the mindful market: a need for well-crafted products founded on the principles of living beautifully, while properly caring for the planet and its inhabitants. This is where she joined forces with co-founder and fellow new Texan, Katy Rowley, a consumer and fashion expert who loves spreadsheets and has an unmatched eye for detail. She co-founded FOX HOLT in 2019 with Rowley, and began to foster a community of like-minded, creative designers and artists who are passionate about change and lasting impact. Katy Rowley Katy Rowley wanted to create a place to make shopping mindfully easy and simple; to develop a space where a sustainable consumer, or an accidental one, could buy pieces that help create change, while still living beautifully. A London native, Rowley worked as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) executive, before landing her dream job at Matchesfashion.com, where she was the Head of CRM. This is where she honed her love of fashion, e-commerce, and developed an in-depth understanding of the luxury customer experience. Like Volpe, a move and motherhood brought her to be more thoughtful about the brands she supported. The fashion and lifestyle professionals responded to the demand for well-crafted, luxurious products, made ethically and sustainably, and launched a successful marketplace to house different designers, specialists, and artists, who adhere to their principles. Mothers first, she and Volpe wanted to help educate about the benefits of sustainable fashion, to inspire ethical purchasing, and leave a better world for their children. The fashion industry mavens share a deeply-rooted belief that purchases directly impact the future, the future of their loved ones, and beyond. FOX HOLT supports the people who are creating with the future in mind.   Learn more about your host, Robyn Graham, click HERE. To learn about The Brand Marketing Insider by Robyn Graham, click HERE.

“The role of a [communications] agency now has really evolved to be much more sales focused which is great for the market because that’s what the goal should always have been.”2020 has thrown a massive curveball to brands across every industry and now, PR & Communications agencies are required to play their most important role to date. Rohma Theunissen sat down with Rani Ilmi, Founder of boutique Dubai-based FRAME Publicity, whose clients include Matchesfashion, Maria Tash, Tiffany & Co and By FAR to find out what it takes to successfully maneuver an agency and its clients through a pandemic and her strategies for enabling her clients not only to survive, but thrive.

Today I would like you to meet Selim Mouzannar. I first tried on his jewellery creations inspired by Art Deco and Ottoman architecture during private MATCHESFASHION dinner in London. I love the simplicity of his design and rose-cut diamonds  to create a warm glow. Selim collections reflect his passion for the ocean, stars and open air. His star shaped pendant became iconic and in my wishlist. You launched your jewellery workshop in 1993 in Beirut. How did your brand start?How do your jewels reflect your background as both your father and grandfather were also jewellers?You studied mineralogy and graduated from Paris's Institut National de Gemmologie. How important is to understand and to play with gemstone colours to create jewels?What are your signature design elements? Are there any unique and special techniques used during the process like enamel and antique Mediterranean crafts?Can you speak more about your iconic pieces, the 7-point star of the collection Istanbul? How are your jewels created? 

Gabe Ricioppo served as the creative director of Need Supply Co. and Totokaelo for over two decades. The Virginia native was instrumental in building Need Supply Co.’s digital identity and helped usher it into an era of e-commerce prominence out of Richmond, Virginia. In 2016, he was similarly tasked with helping out Totokaelo when it was acquired by Need’s parent company. Currently Ricioppo lives in Los Angeles and runs a creative agency called Supergravity, which operates between Paris and LA and includes clients like MATCHESFASHION. We talk about the early days of Need Supply, the growing pains he faced along the way, and the moment he decided to step away from it all and focus on his family, himself, and create new dreams.

In the fashion world, there are a handful of times that you run across an up and coming designer that is so earnest, articulate, and talented that you make a secret wish in your heart that you hope they’ll make it big. That is exactly how I felt after talking with the 28-year-old designer Kevin Germanier for this podcast. I had seen his work before first hand at press day presentations in Paris. And Kevin’s vibrant, beaded, and bold designs always stood out. But what also made them stand out in my mind was when I discovered that his garments were of the luxury upcycled variety. Kevin’s made to measure and limited edition collections are as far away from the hippy hemp and organic cotton, Birkenstock wearing image - that sustainable fashion is still strongly associated with- as you could get. This Swiss-born designer, who graduated from Central Saint Martins and launched his signature line in 2018 while still a junior designer at Louis Vuitton, found a way to make sustainable fashion look sexy. Look feminine. And look fun. His sculptural silhouettes and love of embellishments firmly place his work in the “statement dressing” category. But isn’t it nice to know that his commitment to conscious design sees his garments covered in shimmering upcycled crystals from Swarovski and the fabric comes from offshoots that are getting a second lease on life. Not surprisingly Kevin’s vivid designs have already been worn by the likes of Lady Gaga, Björk, and K-pop star Sunmi. He was also shortlisted for the 2019 LVMH Prize for young designers. And the leading fashion e-commerce platform MatchesFashion picked up his debut collection for its site, which it has been carrying ever since. So it looks like he is off to a very strong start. And maybe that secret wish of mine might actually come true. Just on a technical side note, I did want to let all you listeners know that Kevin and I did our interview over Zoom video. So don’t be surprised by a couple of very minor audio issues. And if you happen to be more of a visual learner, feel free to head over to my signature YouTube channel to watch the video version of this podcast in action. Now come with me to discover the glamorous, colorful, and eco-friendly world of Kevin Germanier.

To celebrate the launch of an exclusive collection of hats for MATCHESFASHION, the renowned milliner discusses his most famous pieces, working with everyone from Princess Diana to Boy George, and shares his inspirations.

It’s now hard to imagine luxury fashion without online retail. However, it was not that long ago that we started to see the names of founders and companies emerging that would change the fashion landscape forever. In June 2000 Natalie Massenet launched NET-A-PORTER. Matchesfashion launched its e-commerce website in 2006 to complement to its offline presence and in June 2007 José Neves launched Farfetch. Not forgetting - naturally not on the same scale, but still significant to our story - that Black Neon swimwear launched e-commerce in June 2011, which according to our founder, was certainly not as easy or cheap as you make it happen for today. Considering today 97% of Matchesfashion’s sales come from online shopping according to Forbes we can see the power of online. But, how did we get from no online presence to being leaders in luxury fashion e-commerce? Well, thanks in part to people like Pia Stanchina. Having launched her own sustainable luxury fashion label focused on fusing innovative design with biodegradable materials in 2009, Pia became UK Co-founder at Glossybox UK, a Rocket Internet start-up aimed at becoming the premier direct marketing tool for high-end, niche and professional Beauty brands where she was CMO/Creative Director. This was the beginning of Pia’s career as a fashion innovator. With her sights set high, Pia contacted Google and ended up landing a role as Google Industry Manager for Fashion, Beauty and Luxury. She later helped to set up a new Digital Acceleration Fashion & Luxury Retail team to help medium-sized British brands grow. In parallel, she was Digital & Innovation Board Advisor for the British Fashion Council. During this time, Pia became known for her big picture thinking combined with a focus on actionable insight. Pia’s talent has benefited many companies and female founders including, Semaine Founders Michelle Lu and Georgina Harding and also Sharmadean Reid MBE of WAH London, Beautystack and Future Girl Corp, the latter of which Pia had significant involvement in. After a period of time out, rebuilding herself and taking time to focus on what she wanted her own future to look like, Pia trained in transformational coaching. Now as an empowerment speaker and coach Pia inspires companies and individuals ‘to tap into all our innate creativity, brilliance and wisdom’ to enable us to ‘fully become the person you were born to be and live the life you dream of.’ With Pia’s infectious positive energy and optimism, it’s easy to see how we can turn dreams into reality with her help. We hope you enjoy listening to Pia’s story and perhaps you may find yourself reaching out to her too! https://piastanchina.com www.blackneondigital.com

Would the Rebel Alliance stand a chance if the Death Star would have been build using Scrum? I guess we will never know... ... however, playing the Scrum simulation game 'Building the Death Star' by Corrado De Sanctis - the Dex game - teams pioneer towards the pillars of successful enterprise agility. What brings the highest gain on the quest to conquer the universe? High performing teams? Effective OKRs? In this simulation 6 scrum teams explore the realm of large project agility. Within the two hours playtime teams learn in a playful way what the magic ingredients for a project success are. How does the game look like? Dedicated work streams are responsible for the various components of the Death Star as real as the real fiction suggests. Every bit is like in the real Star Wars stories and authentically relate to the Death Star building in 'The New Hope'. But how easy is it to coordinate building the super laser and connecting it to the power needed? What happens if the emperor has taken Princess Leia hostage and needs the torture chamber active ASAP? Whilst the empire had 400,000 droids to build the death star we have six teams to coordinate the work. This game has a Scrum board, 134 components to be build - each represented by a card, six teams, the universe throwing a spanner into the gearbox and a ruthless and demanding emperor. It is ideal to be played with a minimum of 14 people and aims for anyone who is exposed to Agile ways of working - or wants to learn about agility on an experiential level. In today's Scrumblebee episode we hear employees of the happy MatchesFashion family play the 'Build the Death Star' game. Of course we didn't let the opportunity slip to talk to Michael Park who invited us to MatchsFashion London and who has deep insight into the powers of this game. Corrado De Sanctis has invented the Death Star game all by himself and explains what has prompted him to do so. And if you are interested in a written experience report by Corrado on LinkedIn just click here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/collaboration-gaps-enhanced-game-yes-possible-corrado-de-sanctis

Creating retail experiences is essential for successful brick and mortar today, but it’s not a silver bullet, explains Jess Christie, chief brand officer of MatchesFashion.com, on this episode of the Innovators podcast. This is a luxury retailer that opened a new physical store in London’s Mayfair last year and hosted more than 100 different events in its first 9 months. Join us as we also explore exactly what that takes to pull off, what it means to think about personal shopping through the eyes of technology today, and the role content plays in connecting online and offline together.

Hosts Noah Thomas and Jian DeLeon are joined by photographer Hannah Sider, whose lens has captured your favorite rapper, favorite rapper's favorite rapper, and most likely their 12-year-old cousin too. We talk about how she built a career as a photographer in a male-dominated industry, and also discuss some of the latest products, collabs, and collections we saw this week. Beyond ex-Nike designer Tiffany Beers breaking down why star college basketball player Zion Williamson's shoe broke on the court, there's a lot of contention behind Virgil Abloh's latest water bottle—a collaboration with Evian. The $58 bottle sold out instantly (as expected) when it released on Matchesfashion.com earlier this week, but is it worth the asking price? Then we shift gears and get into the question of the week—Who is the flyest rapper in the game right now? Y'all didn't disappoint when it came to leaving voicemails weighing in on the topic. There's some obvious names in there, but also a few people that we were surprised to hear.

Ruth Chapman, Matchesfashion.com, 2018 - 03 - 21 by TELL Series

If you are a woman working in fashion today might I suggest Ruth Chapman, the co-founder of Matchesfashion.com, as a role model. Not only did she build up her fashion empire with her husband Tom from scratch, with a single brick and mortar store in Wimbledon, in southwest London, 30 years ago, she turned it into one of the leading independent luxury e-commerce players in the industry. Under her guiding hand Matches Fashion.com became known for its nurturing and dedicated support of young designers, with a healthy dose of national pride in highlighting home grown British brands… as well as a highly curated and clever selection of some of the most influential international luxury labels from around the globe. A selection that directly  reflected the desires of a clientele that is also very international and endlessly looking for new discoveries and high quality designs. All of which is very admirable indeed, but what is perhaps just as indicative of who Ruth is…. is the warm and family like working environment she fostered within the company over those three decades. Which saw more than a few staffers starting out as interns and moving up through the ranks of the company as it grew into a global player. In 2017, the company released its financial results for the first time, revealing a 61 percent year-on-year growth and full-year revenues for 2016 at an impressive £204 million pounds. Also last year Ruth and her husband decided it was time for new challenges and they sold their majority stake in the company to private equity firm Apax. Although the exact amount they sold the company has not been disclosed the rumor on the street is that it was in the region of 800 million pounds. I spoke with Ruth while she was in Paris attending a few fashion shows during the latest ready to wear collections. We talked about what it was like to leave a good job to follow a dream, how building a great team is the best way to be successful and what she wants to do with the next act of her life. After our chat I felt like Ruth was living proof that women really can have it all, and look absolutely amazing doing it.

Following 7 years working in buying and merchandising roles at three of the biggest names in British luxury fashion; Mulberry, Matchesfashion.com, and Anya Hindmarch, Bethany Rowntree has taken the jump and gone solo, launching Studio B just 6 weeks ago (at the time we recorded our podcast). Statement not basic, this is certainly a phrase that can be used to describe Beth’s taste and way of doing things, yet she doesn’t shout, she shines. The brands Studio B showcases are unique, beautifully made and support local makers and economies such as made in London contemporary accessories label Paradise Row who we spoke to founder Nika Mokhtassi in episode 7. Beth’s approach to business and brand selection comes across as extremely relaxed, fun and instinctive. Yet behind the bold prints, colours and her wonderful smile is someone who has worked hard at understanding the business of fashion, working her way up from intern to business owner. Fellow Northerner Beth and I had a lot of fun discussing; her journey from Darlington and university in Manchester to her previous roles and how they have influenced her vision for Studio B,  her bold taste, love of independent fashion brands and her go to Christmas outfit, all available from studio b of course! www.studiobfashion.comwww.blackneondigital.com
