A new sensation has emerged in the industry of fashion and luxury and the opinions are split between excitement and scepticism. See Now Buy Now is the "Pretail" model where what's on the runway is immediately made available in stores - closing the gap between the catwalk and retail. Burberry's CEO Christopher Bailey argues in favour of the concept by saying that “The changes we are making will allow us to build a closer connection between the experience that we create with our runway shows and the moment when people can physically explore the collections for themselves.” While brands like Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger and Tom Ford have already vowed to this new approach from the next collection onwards, more traditional luxury labels, mainly Italian and French houses like Loewe, Lanvin and Dolce&Gabbana and such are rather reluctant.
Is the notion of see now/wear now, or sell now, is a negation of dreaming, of desire? Or is it a step ahead in the future of consumer culture? What do fashion customers think about the concept? Which brands are looking to integrate the trend, which are shying away from it? What are the implications and how this affects the brand processes? And what the future holds.
