The Luxury Slowdown! How Dupes and Resale Markets Are Winning the New Era

The global luxury market is facing an unprecedented slowdown, with only marginal growth expected in 2026. As prices soar and quality is questioned, consumers are no longer blindly paying for logos. In this episode, we dive deep into the "five biggest winners" in this fashion paradigm shift, specifically focusing on why "Dupes" and the "Resale" markets are booming among Gen Z. We'll also unpack the "VIP Trap" that luxury brands fall into by over-relying on the top 1% of Very Important Clients (VICs), and how they are losing the remaining 99% of their core and potential customers. Finally, we discuss how AI agents and smart glasses are reshaping the future of shopping. Join us as we explore the true meaning of "value" when luxury is no longer just about an expensive price tag! -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
