Technology as a tool

Feb 1, 2021
Fashion Is Innovating for the Consumer via Technologies I
Description

As technology is essential to today’s business world, companies have to learn how to use it in a way that will benefit and enhance their business model. An understanding of shifts in consumer demand, expectations, and behavior is necessary to create innovative technologies.

With this in mind, Fredrik Timour (Head of Fashion Innovation, Swedish Fashion Council), guided this conversation alongside panelists including Sandra Campos (CEO, Project Verte), Daina Burnes (Founder & CEO, Bold Metrics), Ganesh Subramanian (Founder & CEO, Stylumia), Nikhita Iyar (Head of Strategic Business Development, Moxtra) and Emma Lee (Head of Fashion, Tmall Global & Kaola). 

Social media has given power and voice to the consumer. Companies must have an understanding of the consumer’s priority – who is looking for products with a purpose. They now purchase experience, which evokes a need to feel represented as well as to see themselves in what they are buying. Digital is unavoidable and companies have to make sure they present and engage online.
