Fashion Leaders Breakfast: Agile Merchandising - responding to fashion’s new fundamentals

23rd of September

The economics and the competitive landscape in fashion have changed, but the merchandising model many brands and retailers employ has remained the same.

Shorter seasons, fluctuating demand and an uncertain economic outlook makes executing only against a pre-season plan too risky. The gap between what was planned and what the market actually does is where margin goes to die.

Static, plan-driven execution creates a predictable chain of damage: stock imbalances, markdown dependency, trapped working capital, and stores that feel wrong to the customer. As networks grow more complex, the cost of doing nothing compounds.

Agile Merchandising is a complete operating model designed for how fashion actually works. It allows for:

  • Initial allocation that preserves flexibility
  • Demand-driven replenishment
  • Selective in-season reordering
  • Proactive inventory rebalancing
  • Continuous price optimisation

Join us on 23 September at Michelin Star restaurant Hide, in London’s Mayfair, to learn more about this new, game-changing approach to merchandising at our intimate, high-level roundtable breakfast where senior leaders will gather to hear from experts at Nextail and to learn from each other.

The event will be held under Chatham House rules to allow for open conversation and each guest will receive a luxury gift from Diptyque as a thank you for their participation.

  • 08:45: Arrivals, networking & coffee + welcome from Lauretta Roberts, Editor in chief of TheIndustry.fashion
