"The media reported that online retailer Amazon was planning to lay off around 10,000 employees during the Corona pandemic, but sales have been slumping since the beginning of the year. But if you take a closer look, it's not about online retailing but the Amazon Prime streaming division, which includes the Alexa voice assistant and the Echo speaker series. According to Business Insider, internal documents show an operating loss of more than 3 billion US dollars for Amazon's ""Worldwide Digital"" team in the first quarter. In view of the poor figures, Amazon is now losing patience with its voice assistant. Internally, this has already made itself felt: the Alexa team has not been expanded since 2019, employees told Business Insider. So no unmasking on the online front. The fact that Alexa didn't catch on after initial enthusiasm could also mean that it came too early or wasn't mature. At the moment, it almost sounds like Alexa is being discontinued.Let´s ask Siri…. " "My old employer has published its annual figures. In the past financial year, which ended on 17 September, Primark's turnover amounted to almost 7.7 billion British pounds (8.8 billion euros). The company was largely satisfied with its business development in Great Britain, Ireland and the USA. The situation in continental Europe was less good. There, consumer confidence is currently weaker than before the pandemic, the company explained. Like-for-like sales in the region were 16 per cent below the level of 2018/19.The lack of an online shop was particularly noticeable here, as there were also longer lockdown phases. In a limited area in the north of England, a click & collect trial has now started with children's clothing. This seems to me to be a good decision. Primark continues to be particularly concerned about the German market. After its initially very successful market entry in 2009, the retailer had opened larger than average shops in this country. As a result of cannibalisation effects, which were not planned to the extent they were, productivity per unit area has fallen and many stores are no longer profitable and have fallen to an ""unacceptable level"", the company admitted. In light of this, Primark has now written down its German assets by a total of £206 million and announced further action. Options to downsize or close shops in Germany were under consideration, the company said. At the same time, the retailer stressed that it ""continues to see real opportunities"" in the German market. I share this view and wish Primark every success in its measures. " "In the USA, TikTok is introducing its in-app shopping function. Under the name TikTok Shop, users will be able to buy products directly in the app. Initially, the social commerce function will be made available in the USA. Tests are already underway in Great Britain and Asia. With the new shop function, it is no longer necessary to leave the app to buy products advertised by creators or marketed by advertisers. This makes TikTok a competitor to other sales platforms such as Amazon. The sellers are not necessarily large providers; small businesses can also place their goods. Since only tests are running so far, no exact details on costs and processes are known yet. According to The Verge, however, TikTok has already been looking for employees in the USA to take care of warehouse work. That speaks for a bigger project than just giving other providers the opportunity to operate their shops.Well, the platforms on which one can buy goods are becoming more and more diverse, but the money available is becoming less. This means: fierce competition, low prices and some who will fly out of the curve. The gladiatorial games are open, may the best win… " "At the opening of the Munich flagship store, the boss of the Stuttgart fashion chain Breuninger was still thinking aloud about whether the company name Konen could be continued alongside his own name. After all, several Munich generations grew up looking at the fashion house Konen and shopping at Sendlinger Strasse 3. There is 12,500 square meters of retail space on six floors. But now the final decision of those responsible: Konen has not only formally (since early summer 2021) become the Breuninger fashion house. Now the brand lettering is also disappearing, away from the facade and also from the interior walls. After the conversion, the Breuninger house will also have a café." After months of speculation, Estée Lauder Cos. announced on 11/15-22 that it has agreed to buy the Tom Ford brand in a $2.8 billion deal. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to regulatory approval. Ford himself will serve as the brand's "creative visionary" through the end of next year. Estée Lauder takes over the cosmetics and fragrance business of Tom Ford ,the Ermenegildo Zegna Group, now not men's fashion alone as in the past, it will now be responsible for all women's and men's fashion, as well as accessories and underwear.

By 2027, Louis Vuitton's current headquarters will be transformed into a sprawling complex that will include the world's first Louis Vuitton Hotel and the company's largest store. Parent company LVMH has radically transformed the neighborhood over the past 18 months with the opening of the renovated La Samaritaine department store and the Cheval Blanc hotel.The opening of LV Dream, we reported last week, marks the first step in the ambitious transformation of the 400,000-square-foot headquarters.The plans reflect the increasing push of fashion and luxury brands into hospitality as consumers spend more and more money on experiences. Customers expect experiences; they want a 24/7 relationship with the brand. Luxury brand hotels are not new: Bulgari, owned by LVMH, also operates seven luxury hotels, Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, Versace and the Armani Group each operate 2 hotels, while Fendi operates a suite hotel in Rome. The Ferragamo family owns and operates 7 hotels, including the ultra-luxurious Portrait Collection. "The French brand Asphalte makes timeless and durable garments in Europe. It currently generates over 10 percent of its sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With its offer for men and now also for women, it could possibly decouple its presence in the German-speaking area from the French platform. When it was founded in 2016, the brand positioned itself as the antithesis to fast fashion. Their products are only available via a pre-order system, which means that they are only delivered after a waiting period of several months. The models are designed to suit as many people as possible and the materials used are particularly robust. The products are offered online, each with a single model: a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, a ""perfect"" sweater, sturdy sneakers and a winter parka (in different colors).

The originally pure menswear range was expanded last year to include women's models. With the new offer, the company is already generating 10 percent of its total sales, and this share could increase to 25 to 30 percent from 2023, according to CEO William Hauvette. He hopes to be able to expand the women's collection from the current 10 items to 30 products soon. The men's collection should include 60 models.

In the coming year, Asphalte will address the issue of separating the national platforms based on the uptake of different products in each country. With a view to further development opportunities, the British ordering platform has a considerable number of customers from the Netherlands and Scandinavia, which makes further development in this direction interesting. The Spanish and Italian markets are also being considered, as is the US via a web shop in USD. Asia is not excluded either. ""In any case, we would like to do international business,"" confirms William Hauvette." """Monsieur Dior had a love and passion for British elegance - , is beautifully illustrated in the busy windows of Harrods. A pop-up store, the """"So Dior"""" exhibition and the Dior Café showcase a range of Dior creations, designs and accessories with a British twist to create a fascinating experience of fashion, elegance and taste. The walls, bordered with white molding, are decorated with minimal-style watercolor illustrations made exclusively for Dior Magazine and Dior Café by one of the most famous illustrators, Mats Gustafson. Opposite, a mirrored wall and a series of chandeliers emphasize the grandeur of the space with a great trick of light. This elegant yet minimalist atmosphere plays beautifully with a mix of British elegance and the codes of the House of Dior.""" "To ""pursue its international expansion strategy"", Galeries Lafayette has entered into an ""exclusive partnership"" with Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited, the first Indian fashion group to reach $1 billion in sales and operate a network of 3,500 stores.

The partnership includes ""the launch of a dedicated e-commerce platform"" but also ""the opening of two stores in Mumbai and New Delhi, the country's two main metropolitan areas,"" according to the group. The first 8,000 square meter store in the ""commercial and cultural heart of Mumbai"" will open its doors in 2024 to ""a young clientele very receptive to new luxury trends"". DLF Emporio, the most well-known premium shopping center in New Delhi,"" according to the group According to CEO Nicolas Houzé, this partnership underscores Galeries Lafayette's intention to ""accelerate its international expansion and open around 20 stores by 2025, with a focus on Asia and the Middle East.""" "The formerly separate men's and women's Balenciaga stores in Miami are now reopening as a single store, making it the largest Balenciaga store in the U.S. to date, and in the heart of Miami's designer district. The two-story, 786-square-foot store was designed in keeping with the brand's Raw Architecture concept, last seen in the St. Tropez store that opened in June of this year. In order to respect the existing structural elements, the construction and renovation of the new store had to adhere to strict sustainability requirements. Exposed concrete, steel parts, cable trays. All raw and unclad. Featuring a glass and chrome façade, the store has two backlit Balenciaga signs above the entrance of each floor, with cracked and crumbling concrete bricks, elements of scrubbed graffiti and tiled walls. The new store's benches are upholstered in a cactus-based material, and it features an original work by Swedish-born, Copenhagen-based artist Charlotte Thrane, made from locally sourced and recycled mattresses and pillows. Balenciaga news: the brand recently deleted its Twitter account after Elon Musk took over the social media platform. BALENCIAGA MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT 151 NE 41st Street, Miami, Florida 33137" At Ebay's "Luxury Exchange" in the heart of New York's famed Diamond District, customers could have their jewelry, handbags and watches appraised on Nov. 16 & 17, 2022.

"DIESEL'S SKIRT ISN'T MADE MADE FOR SITTING, BUT SO WHAT? Glenn Martens knows how to get people talking. His previous exploits as creative director of Diesel have ranged from butt plug invitations to a fragrance that smells like jeans, and his latest act that has gotten the press in a flurry is a super short skirt. Or at least that's what I think it is, by the brand's own admission it is ""wearable as belt or skirt"" — living in the grey area between being a huge belt and a tiny skirt"

KFC had to apologise for an embarrassing and tasteless advertising error. "Remembrance Day of the Reich Pogrom Night. Treat yourself to more tender cheese with crispy chicken": This was the message that Kentucky Fried Chicken customers and app users received on their mobile phones on 9 November. The tasteless advertisement popped up on their displays via a push message, which understandably caused a shitstorm on social networks. The company later told "stern" how the mistake could have happened. The reason for the push notification was "a semi-automatic process" that serves as the basis for the creation of such content in the app. This process is linked to calendars that contain days of celebration, commemoration and action, he said. "In this individual case, our internal review process was not properly followed. This resulted in this unauthorised message being inadvertently disseminated. As a result, we immediately suspended app communications," the company said. "The new champagne mood - in the middle of the crisis. The stocks of the luxury group LVMH are running low. Inflation? Heating costs? The rich of the world are craving right now: party! At last they can really treat themselves again! The fear of the pandemic is receding into the background, no more restrictions on travel and restaurants, no more constant testing. So finally get out again, celebrate life, enjoy the good things, whatever the cost. That's the mood at the moment, and the consequences are only logical: luxury groups like LVMH are exceeding sales expectations, Ferrari is raising its profit outlook, Hermès is selling so much more of its silk scarves despite raising prices that they will soon simply become even more expensive. And now this: Philippe Schaus, in charge of beverages at LVMH, warns in an interview with the Bloomberg news agency that some champagne brands are running out of stock. The reason? After two years of waiting, people finally want to treat themselves. Internally, the French luxury conglomerate is already talking about the dawn of the golden twenties. It is not just any champagne that is sold out. According to Philippe Schaus, it is the top brands of his group, such as: Dom Pérignon (from 160 euros) or Krug (from 190 euros, prices for both are wide open). More common brands like Moët, which is available for 40 euros in every supermarket, do not tend to have supply problems."
