A systems approach to problem finding, framing, and solving is applied to explore how we might increase fashion reuse behaviours amongst consumers and industry alike. This research includes an analysis of the key barriers that prevent higher rates of participation in fashion reuse despite the potential economic, environmental, and social benefits of doing so (Part 2), and identifies areas of opportunity to focus innovation (Part 3). Research methodology included more than 30 one-on-one consumer interviews, 20 interviews with industry professionals along the fashion value chain, and an extensive environmental scan with a particular focus on the Canadian market.

  • A First-Hand Experience for a Second-Hand Product: the Success of Online Luxury Resellers
    A first-hand experience for a second-hand product: the success of online luxury resellers Beatriz Estrela Duarte Dissertation written under the supervision of Laure Leglise Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the MSc in Management with specialization in Strategic Marketing, at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, 2020. Abstract – English Title: A first-hand experience for a second-hand product: the success of online luxury resellers Author: Beatriz Estrela Duarte The purpose of this research is to understand how luxury resellers successful create value-added propositions within the online context, posing a challenge to the exclusivity inherent to the luxury reality. We used a qualitative approach to analyse three online second-hand players and drew our conclusions on the Business Model Canvas. The findings of the present research show that the success of luxury online resellers is built on (1) a diversified, personalised and curated luxury assortment, (2) wider customer reach enabled by online, (3) trusted authentication processes, (4) powerful network effect, (5) proprietary technology and in-house skilled staff. These are assets difficult to replicate which raises barriers to entry and are further complemented with offline expansion and partnerships with luxury brands. This research is relevant for both incumbent companies and new entrants alike, as well as luxury companies to better understand the value of the second-hand luxury market. Keywords: second-hand, luxury, resale, online 2 Abstract – Portuguese Título: Uma experiência em primeira mão para um produto em segunda mão: o sucesso dos revendedores de luxo online Autor: Beatriz Estrela Duarte O objetivo da presente tese é compreender como os revendedores de luxo são bem-sucedidos a criar propostas de valor acrescentado no contexto online, colocando um desafio à exclusividade inerente à realidade do luxo.

  • The Fashion Industry As a Slippery Discursive Site: Tracing the Lines of Flight Between Problem and Intervention
    THE FASHION INDUSTRY AS A SLIPPERY DISCURSIVE SITE: TRACING THE LINES OF FLIGHT BETWEEN PROBLEM AND INTERVENTION Nadia K. Dawisha A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Patricia Parker Sarah Dempsey Steve May Michael Palm Neringa Klumbyte © 2016 Nadia K. Dawisha ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Nadia K. Dawisha: The Fashion Industry as a Slippery Discursive Site: Tracing the Lines of Flight Between Problem and Intervention (Under the direction of Dr. Patricia Parker) At the intersection of the glamorous façade of designer runway shows, such as those in Paris, Milan and New York, and the cheap prices at the local Walmart and Target, is the complicated, somewhat insidious “business” of the fashion industry. It is complicated because it both exploits and empowers, sometimes through the very same practices; it is insidious because its most exploitative practices are often hidden, reproduced, and sustained through a consumer culture in which we are all in some ways complicit. Since fashion’s inception, people and institutions have employed a myriad of discursive strategies to ignore and even justify their complicity in exploitative labor, environmental degradation, and neo-colonial practices. This dissertation identifies and analyzes five predicaments of fashion while locating the multiple interventions that engage various discursive spaces in the fashion industry. Ultimately, the analysis of discursive strategies by creatives, workers, organizers, and bloggers reveals the existence of agile interventions that are as nuanced as the problem, and that can engage with disciplinary power in all these complicated places.

PAGE 37 Recommendations for the industry. 07 THE AUTHORS PAGE 56 From JB and CSF 08 APPENDIX PAGE 58 Additional context and references. 3 Abstract The global fashion industry has a far-reaching impact on the natural environment, from the extraction of raw materials to the production, distribution, wear and disposal of clothes. As the world’s population increases to a projected 8.5 billion people by 2030, annual global apparel consumption could rise by 63%, from 62 million tonnes today to 102 million tonnes—equivalent to more than 500 billion additional T-shirts1. The current fashion system is unsustainable, our biggest risk is to carry on as we currently operate. There is scientific consensus that we are in times of climate and ecological emergency as set out in the UN commissioned Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5° and Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. For the fashion industry to have a response commensurate with global environmental challenges, it will require a systems level change and development of a new fashion system based in a sustainability paradigm. Bringing about this change is complex given the global nature of the industry and its many different parts.

At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted many losses: human, social and economic. What we are now experiencing is an unprecedented moment of crisis in modern history. However, it is during uncertain times that companies often come up with new ideas, converting the crisis into an opportunity, and adopting a long-term vision of future challenges. This prolonged disruptive situation is creating profound changes in consumer behavior and how companies are responding to these changes—prompting a debate about the future of the fashion and luxury industry. There is a general feeling of rethinking luxury and driving it in new directions, considering which business models will be feasible and more relevant in the new normal. Tradition and responsiveness, two elements that have always characterized luxury companies, will both be required to face great challenges in the post-COVID environment. We see the pandemic acting as a divider between the old way of doing business and the new scenario that is taking shape, characterized by changing consumer behavior. Hence, in this report, we talk about a new age for fashion and luxury and will explore the main trends that will drive the industry in the coming months.

  • Investigating the Role of Fashion Weeks and Film Festivals in Amsterdam and Vancouver in Fostering Innovation
    Changing of the seasons: investigating the role of fashion weeks and film festivals in Amsterdam and Vancouver in fostering innovation ROSA KOETSENRUIJTER, UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM ABSTRACT The role of temporal economic phenomena, such as film festivals and fashion weeks, in the field of cultural production is manifold. Drawing upon qualitative empirical research, this paper presents a view on festivals as protective institutional environments where creators can experiment materially and semantically without being pressured by isomorphic parameters and market forces. Through a comparative, small-N study of four festivals – two film festivals and two fashion weeks – in respectively Amsterdam and Vancouver, the innovative potential of temporal economic phenomena is studied. Via qualitative interviews this study has found that festivals appear to be a central node in the cultural field. Not only do they constitute spatially and temporarily bounded places where the latest/newest products and trends are showcased, as well they appear to bring together different, spatially dispersed key actors from within the field to contribute to the bridging, accumulation and conversion of social, economic and cultural capital. Furthermore, the festivals appear to be a laboratory where, to some extent, new and innovative ideas and creative experiments are presented to people within the field and to the general public. As such festivals play a part in supporting and fostering innovation within the industry. However, due to both internal pressures and external
