I'll be reading Rachel Tashjian piece on Zara. But really I am wondering why Mango isn't getting the same attention, this brand is certainly not fast fashion anymore (or was it ever?) oozes luxury. Their campaigns are neat and the quality of their products is durable. I've owned many pieces for more than a decade now and they are in a fine state. Peopld often asks if it is x,y,z luxury brand. I believe Spanish retailers are very interesting case studies.

You are absolutely right. We need the article on Mango. Their products and quality are great but the image seems more under the radar.

I am wondering if it is because it doesn't have an umbrella of brands. Like Zara is Inditex. The quality is there because they are focused on their brand only, I suppose. But I am really wondering how people are sitting on it. To come back to Inditex, it is so funny they talk about Zara becoming a luxury brand because they used to have Uterqüe that quality and price was exactly what they want Zara to become, but they closed it in 2021 and I was in shock because it was this under the radar that did great clothing AND leather shoes/goods.

Was listening to Fashion People with Lauren Sherman and Marissa Meltzer and it was interesting to see their take on where Hedi would be best suited post Celine.

barely there sandals have been my go to for years so excited to see all the new options. Loving the Freda Salvador new ones and Amanu has been a favorite on my wishlist for years!!

Agree. So interesting to hear the thought process. There is such a shakeup in the luxury fashion world right now.
