Season 3 Launches
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.
Capturing Gen-Z Voices
“Independent Thinks: The Rise of Generation Z” episodes are central to highlighting young consumer voices. Since the inception, Retail Revolution has been a platform to gather perspectives and learn from experts in a multitude of fashion related fields. But what about the Gen-Z stance on the fashion landscape? This voice can’t go unheard, especially in our current landscape. This series was created for Gen-Z thinkers to channel their thoughts on socio-political issues, technology and challenge brands’. Additionally, these episodes welcome all professionals to learn from these Gen-Z voices and expose them to their attitudes and desires, to aid in rethinking retail’s future.
What I Learned as Host
It was extremely overwhelming when I was offered the opportunity to host “Independent Thinkers: The Rise of Generation Z” series. My fellow intern Caitlin, and I teamed up to create the questions that would capture the essence of Gen Z shopping expectations and habits. And then we each identified three individuals from the generation that we felt would share their honest opinions and belief systems.
