STAY ON TREND by JULIE SMITH VINCENTI
May 29, 2023
It was October 2021, and I had just finished my first in-person trends seminar since the pandemic impacted all industry shows. At the end of the image-packed program, an audience member raised her hand and challenged, “Do trends even matter anymore?”

It was a valid question. The pandemic had disrupted business, upended supply chains, transformed education, revealed vulnerabilities, altered priorities, and unexpectedly claimed many lives. The question was tinged with cynicism. Pent...

Apple announced last month that it's launching a new classical music app. What’s novel about the Apple Music Classical app is how it lets music fans more easily search thousands of variations of the same song. For example, let’s say you want to find a Johann Sebastian Bach song. Over the past 300 years, many musicians have done ‘covers’ of his works, and there are variations by conductor, music, year, etc., thereby producing thousands of variations. Existing software ...

Wine store collapse stains retailers
May 25, 2023
The New York Times shares a salacious story about Sherry-Lehman, a world-famous wine shop.  The story recounts how the retailer was hit by tariffs, online competitors, and COVID shutdowns. It had borrowed excessively, which many retailers do.  At first, it reads like a Bed Bath & Beyond obituary. But then the owners veered into the criminal realm.  They sold rare wine to new customers that belonged to existing customers, in other cases didn’t deliver what was sold, and ...
