I’m 70 years old — why shouldn’t my clothes convey my sexuality, and sense of style?

(CNN) — In the fall of 2019, I received an e-mail from a group of Parsons Fashion Design and Society MFA students who had been given the assignment to make a collection of clothes for “seniors,” as part of a course that involves creating designs that focus on disabled, plus-size, transgender and aging people. The students were divided into four teams, with each team charge to find a muse/collaborator within their respective category — to ensure primary research and a meaningful outcome. The students asked me for an interview, hoping that I might become their muse.

The students had gone around to senior centers, asking what older people want in their clothing. The answers — focused more on issues of fit, comfort and disguising signs of age — had discouraged them. Though these elements are important, the students seemed to want an aesthetic of age that could inspire them; they want to make old age high fashion, something beyond just function. (I think to

Why Eve-Lily Charlotte Is My New Favorite Fashion Follow

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /

Social media gets a bad rap for being addictive, promoting unrealistic standards of perfection, and in some cases, even being a national security risk. (TikTok even faces a possible ban in the U.S. because of it!). But I prefer to view the internet in a more positive light: I see it as a place to scroll and find endless style inspiration. Case in point: My latest fashion follow, who describes herself as a “maximalist cat lady,” is making me consider taking more risks with my wardrobe—and reminding me to have more fun with it, too. Enter Eve-Lily Charlotte. 

I first came across Eve-Lily’s content while mindlessly scrolling through TikTok one late evening. In her video, the creator and stylist—who is based in Manchester—was attempting to style a black beaded top. As she slipped on a bright pink mesh top and satin skirt underneath it, I was weary of the process—until she added a sculptural bolero, one single dangly earrings, and pointy Versace pumps. Combined, the maximalist ensemble, somehow, worked. “I call it ‘eclectic maximalism,’ as my outfits are inspired by a vast range of aesthetics and decades,” the creator tells Vogue of her personal style. “I’d say

Revolutionizing Retail With Seamless Omnichannel Shopping

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /

The retail landscape is evolving beyond bricks versus clicks, demanding a unified and complementary strategy that bridges physical stores with digital engagement.

Imagine a busy executive browsing online and discovering a product at home. Later, during their commute, they receive a personalized notification about the same item available at a nearby store. Intrigued, they visit the store and complete the purchase. This is a very basic example of a purchasing journey where the boundaries between physical and digital retail spaces are becoming increasingly blurred, resulting in an interconnected ecosystem that caters to consumers’ constantly evolving needs. This is omnichannel advertising.

Omnichannel advertising is all about creating a seamless and fully integrated experience for consumers across multiple channels — both online and offline. It transcends the traditional boundaries of physical and digital retail, ensuring that the consumer journey is consistent, cohesive, and convenient.

Mastering the omnichannel journey between ecommerce and in-store experiences is crucial — and retail media can help connect the dots along that journey. Retail media, where retailers sell ad inventory on their sites to brands who are eager for engagement, is one of the fastest-growing sectors in advertising and is expected to represent over $150

What will consumers’ shopping behavior look like for the 2024 holidays?

By avi maxwel / in , , , /

Consumers remain extremely concerned about inflation and the higher prices of products and services, with many gravitating to online retailers that make personalized offers with the best deals and discounts, bolstered by free shipping and easy access to customer reviews. This finding comes from a survey conducted in February by Celigo.

The survey, which received more than 1,500 responses from U.S. and U.K. consumers, also asked about their online shopping preferences, habits and plans for 2024. 

Survey respondents answered questions about their 2023 holiday shopping experience and how that will shape their 2024 purchasing plans. They also were asked about the most important qualities they seek from online retailers, how they research and buy products online and their shopping expectations moving forward.

Generation Z—which will soon emerge as the most dominant online shopping demographic— expects lower prices and free on-time shipping with every interaction, so it behooves online retailers to deliver flawless customer experiences in those areas to drive greater loyalty with younger shoppers, Celigo said.

The majority of those polled also had multiple poor online retail shopping incidents last year, although holiday 2023 seemed to be
