Implications - The automotive and fashion industries have always been closely connected through a shared reliance on elegant design. Fashion and auto brands have thus made the connection official, with clothing, accessories, and even furnishing that is directly inspired by various auto brands' styles. This convergence shows the importance of brands' willingness to consider consumer interests outside of their own narrow industries when ideating new products.
Workshop Question - What's an adjacent industry that your consumers are also engaged with? How could you capitalize on that with your own product or service?
