Trend - Combining the convenience of eCommerce with the confidence associated with in-person purchase decisions, fashion brands are bringing together the online and physical worlds to offer consumers a balance between simplicity and experience.

Insight - As consumers have become more accustomed to and more attracted to the convenience of online shopping, so too has grown their competing interest in memorable in-person experiences. Consumers' familiarity with modern technology has paved a way for both of these benefits to work alongside each other and provide consumers with a best-of-both-worlds option that they appreciate.
Workshop Question - How can your brand merge its physical and virtual branches in a way that is distinct?
