The news of AI voice cloning by Michael Caine and Matthew McConaughey met with a mixture of weighing legacy, ownership rights, estates, and the risk of deepfake fraud using celebrities and even podcasters. Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Dave Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, Web Bixby, and Jim Rea debate legal guardrails, fair use, and how cheap tools empower scams. Later, the discussion shifts to reports that London thieves prefer stealing iPhones over Android devices and how social engineering can defeat Apple's security measures.

Guest co-host Ben Miller, Shoptalk's VP of Original Content and Strategy joins to provide expert analysis and we interview Lauren Sherman, the acclaimed fashion correspondent at Puck and author of Selling Sexy: Victoria's Secret and the Unraveling of an American IconThe episode kicks off with a rich news segment, where the trio unpacks the latest forces shaping retail and the economy. Amazon's strong Q3 earnings headline the week, with third-party marketplace growth and ad revenues surging 24%. The conversation then pivots to the consumer landscape, where CPG brands lean on pricing over volume, private-label growth accelerates, and Estee Lauder's rebound in China might hint at green shoots in luxury demand.From there, the hosts explore the AI revolution's ripple through the workforce, with Ben outlining how global companies are reorganizing around “agentic transformation” as human and machine intelligence increasingly converge. He notes that the average IQ of today's AI agents already exceeds 130—with future leaps that will reshape every operating model. The segment closes with Steve's macro overview: U.S.–China tariff recalibrations, Fed policy shifts, and warning signs of consumer softening among younger cohorts.In the feature interview, Lauren Sherman offers a masterclass on the shifting foundations of global fashion and luxury. From the post-pandemic boom to today's demand reset, she dissects how the Chinese slowdown, pricing strategy saturation, and the direct-to-consumer explosion are redrawing the map for brands like LVMH, Hermès, and Prada. Lauren argues that “untouchable” luxury houses are now confronting the limits of endless growth, and that resale and rental markets have permanently altered consumer psychology—embedding secondhand luxury as a normalized part of the buying journey.She also explores social media's transformation under AI, Hollywood's over-reliance on fashion partnerships, and why the luxury world's obsession with celebrity campaigns may have reached saturation.The episode also previews ShopTalk Luxe, the new Abu Dhabi-based event connecting the global luxury ecosystem.

Your thrifted shirt might not be as green as you think. From Ghana's "dead white man's clothes" to the rise of resale, we uncover fashion's hidden impact - and a way forward that could change it all.
Luxury retail is in the midst of a reinvention. Circular fashion has moved from trend to transformation, reshaping how consumers perceive value, ownership, and access. According to the 2025 BCG × Vestiaire Collective Resale Report, the secondhand fashion and luxury market now totals $210 to $220 billion globally and is projected to reach $320 to $360 billion by 2030—growing nearly three times faster than the primary market. Among Gen Z consumers, as much as 45% of handbags are already purchased secondhand, underscoring a generational shift toward sustainability and individuality.As resale evolves from online auctions to a global force redefining modern luxury, how are pioneers navigating the next chapter—and what can established brands learn from their playbook?On this episode of Retail Refined, host Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Sarah Davis, Founder and President of Fashionphile, to explore how one of the earliest luxury resale pioneers scaled an eBay side hustle into a global platform for pre-owned luxury. From cultural shifts to omnichannel strategy, Davis shares what keeps Fashionphile and the handbags it curates, iconic.Key Takeaways from the EpisodeResale as identity & access: Gen Z and Gen Alpha aren't just price-sensitive—they're curators. They hunt for under-the-radar pieces, make them trend on TikTok, and often spark brand reissues, lifting values across both primary and secondary markets.What makes a bag “iconic”: Timeless shapes such as the Louis Vuitton Speedy and Chanel Classic Flap endure across decades and price cycles. “It bags” may fade, but icons anchor demand and hold long-term value.Omnichannel is the moat: Despite its digital roots, Fashionphile's growth shows that luxury resale thrives when online trust meets in-person experience. High-touch experiences—from extra photos and videos to in-store try-ons—turn trust into loyalty.Sarah Davis founded Fashionphile in 1999 after recognizing that luxury handbags held their value better than any other resale category. Trained in law, she transformed a one-woman eBay storefront into one of the largest platforms for buying and selling ultra-luxury handbags and accessories, headquartered in San Diego and New York City with operations in Tokyo and retail locations across the U.S. Davis spearheaded initiatives including The Book of Iconic Bags, the company's partnership with ambassador Nicole Richie, and new verticals such as the Investment Protection line and Parker West, Fashionphile's curated estate-jewelry brand.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail podcast, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back retail strategist, educator, and thought leader David Ian Gray, Principal of DIG360 Consulting Ltd. and retail faculty at Capilano University's School of Business. Together, they explore the latest Angus Reid survey on Canadian shopping habits and the rapidly evolving pre-owned and circular retail economy.David begins by setting the stage with his dual role: guiding Canadian retailers through strategic challenges while also developing retail-focused academic programming in Vancouver. He shares his perspective on how the local retail scene is rebuilding post-pandemic, with indie retail and dining seeing a revival even as downtown Vancouver struggles with the loss of anchor stores like Nordstrom and Hudson's Bay.The heart of the conversation is David's latest consumer research, developed in partnership with Angus Reid. The study reveals that 77% of Canadian adults purchased pre-owned items in the past year, proving that second-hand shopping has gone fully mainstream. Canadians aren't just bargain hunting—they're motivated by sustainability, affordability, and the thrill of finding something unique.The conversation highlights surprising generational behaviors, such as Gen Z's enthusiasm for vinyl records and printed books, a countertrend to the assumption that digital-first generations avoid physical media. David suggests this reflects a desire for independence from digital platforms and a deeper need for tangible, cultural experiences.Michael and David also unpack the dominance of Facebook Marketplace, where 76% of respondents reported making a purchase in the past year, underscoring the hybrid online/offline nature of second-hand shopping. They contrast this with other channels—Kijiji, eBay, luxury resale platforms like Poshmark, charity thrift stores, and even brand-led resale initiatives from Canada Goose, IKEA, and Patagonia.For Canadian retailers, the research carries critical lessons. Second-hand is no longer a niche category but a major competitor for consumer dollars. David warns that traditional retailers may underestimate how much revenue is “leaking” into resale markets. While profitability challenges remain—logistics, inventory management, and product quality—brands that strategically embrace resale can enhance consumer loyalty, sustainability credentials, and differentiation.The episode closes with a rapid-fire round covering the future of AI in retail, Hudson's Bay's uncertain real estate footprint, Vancouver's Retail West conference, and the biggest Canadian retail story to watch in 2025: tariff uncertainty. David emphasizes that until trade clarity is achieved, Canadian retailers will remain cautious in decision-making.

Jeremy Bilotti and David Rosenwasser met at Cornell's architecture school and bonded instantly over their shared love of modernist design. Over the past 10 years, they've built Rarify into a unique and multifaceted company, one that combines vintage resale, e-commerce, a contract furniture dealership, and a retail store in Philadelphia—not to mention a popular Instagram account that draws millions of views for its deep dives into the past, present and future of great furniture.On this episode of the podcast, Bilotti and Rosenwasser tell host Dennis Scully how a $120,000 sale to a collector in the Philippines gave them the seed money to get started, why they're looking to break up what they call the “commercial furniture mafia,” and why their ultimate ambition is to take what Knoll was in 1948 and remake it for the modern day.
