SEASON 3 OF “RETAIL REVOLUTION” NOW STREAMING
Real-Time Conversations with Fashion Retail Experts
New York City, NY – Fashion Consort launched Season 3 of Retail Revolution on Tuesday, September 8th, 2020. The Retail Revolution podcast was developed to give voice to fashion retailer experts at all levels of the business, from C-Suite to store floor, in order to better understand the seismic shifts happening in the industry, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Produced by Joshua Williams and hosted by Christopher Lacy, Season 3 of Retail Revolution podcast kicks off with guest expert Keanan Duffty, British fashion designer and founding director of the MPS-Fashion Management graduate program at Parsons School of Design. He sets the tone for the new season, discussing the need for “balance between creativity and commerce.” Season 3 guests include Andrew Jassin, Founder and Managing Director of Jassin Consulting Group, Joshua Kapelman, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Hilldun Corporation and Luisa Herrera-Garcia, Senior Vice President of John Varvatos.
The Retail Revolution podcast is a resource to any professional or student of retail. Producer Joshua Williams states, “We realized very quickly that there was a real need to discuss issues related to fashion retail in real time. It is an industry that is always adapting to constantly shifting customer needs. Season 3 really focuses on the social, political and economic factors at play, in the context of the upcoming U.S. election and the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Season 3 will include 13 full-length episodes. New episodes are released every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn and Spotify. Episodes, bonus materials and full transcripts are available at: www.RetailRevolutionPodcast.com.
