New Chapter Ahead for Fashion Retail

Last year will likely be remembered as the year retail changed forever in New Zealand. The steady stream of shop closures painted a stark picture of businesses under extreme pressure. When Kate Sylvester announced she would close her doors in mid-2025 after 31 years, this announcement, on top of many closures, marked a turning point for retail. Combined with Smith & Caughey's closing their Newmarket store and reducing their flagship location, the industry must consider where fashion retail is heading.

The past two years of recession have hit retailers particularly hard.

High inflation and rising interest rates, crushed consumer confidence. These tough conditions led many retailers to close, leaving empty shops in their wake and creating problems for commercial property owners. Once-bustling shopping streets have fallen quiet.

The shift to working from home hasn't helped, reducing foot traffic in traditional shopping areas. While suburban shops have seen some benefits, they haven't filled the gap left in city centres. Meanwhile, online shopping continues to grow. The Covid lockdowns introduced about 300,000 New Zealanders to online shopping for the first time in 2020, and many haven't

looked back. This trend shows no signs of slowing as technology improves the online experience. Yet, amid these challenges, new opportunities are emerging.

Commercial landlords are creating fresh retail concepts that bring together fashion, art, music and community. These spaces prove that physical stores can succeed when they offer something more than products. Some combine retail with art galleries or wine bars, while others create spaces for people to meet and collaborate.

Retailers finding success today have embraced what we call an experience ecosystem. Their physical stores showcase their brand, while digital platforms handle everyday sales, and social media builds community. This practical approach preserves what's special about in-person shopping while acknowledging how retail has changed.

Local designers are adapting, too. Many now run smaller showrooms where customers can visit by appointment while conducting most sales online. This hybrid model often proves more sustainable than traditional shops. Designer collectives offer another solution: brands sharing space and costs while creating lively creative hubs.

The future likely belongs to smaller, more focused shops. Pop-

up stores and micro-boutiques are also showing promising results. While we've lost some familiar names and traditional department stores, new and more nimble retail concepts will replace them.

This year brings opportunities to reshape retail rules. Though the landscape has shifted dramatically, New Zealand fashion's core strengths remain creativity, community connection, and adaptability.

The challenge isn't whether physical shops have a futureit's how to make them relevant today. Success will come from creating genuine experiences and connections that online shopping can't match. So, as we farewell some iconic names, new ones will emerge, bringing fresh thinking to

HOW TO FIND THE BEST RETAIL AI SOLUTION

BOF highlights that the retailers who will succeed in 2025 will evolve and use AI technology to do so. However, picking the right AI-powered retail intelligence solution for your company can be challenging.

• There are a multitude of technology vendors, and having another new, shiny tool always available can lead to tool fatigue for your teams.

• With Artificial Intelligence becoming a buzzword, it can

be difficult to decipher who has actually integrated this technology and who is all talk.

• Choosing the wrong vendor can be costly for your business.

Here are a few critical questions to ask potential partners when evaluating their capabilities.

BREADTH

AND DEPTH OF DATA

Having access to comprehensive real-time and historical data is critical to making contextualized decisions.

Questions to ask:

• Does your data cover all of my operating markets plus any planned expansion markets?

• How much historical data is available? And, how often is current data updated?

• How can I track product trends’ or competitors’ emergence or decline by region?

• How granular is the data? E.g., can I see current price and full price?

TANGIBLE USE OF AI

All retail intelligence solutions are talking about AI capabilities; you want to know how they have realistically integrated it into their offering.

Questions to ask:

• Is your categorization normalized?

• Can I benchmark exact or similar products in my assortment to the market?

• What is your crawl frequency?

• How are you utilizing Generative AI?

ADOPTION METHODOLOGY AND LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP

Introducing new tools into your business can be challenging. Make sure you understand the vendors’ methodology to ensure adoption and realizing value. Finding a vendor committed to genuine partnership is key to a successful relationship.

Questions to ask:

How do you support crossfunctional collaboration within the platform?

Do you have a Customer Success Team? If so, do they have industry experience?

Can you share your roadmap and vision for the future of data analytics in retail?

CONCLUSION – EDITED’S TRUE RETAIL INTELLIGENCE

Leveraging AI technology is essential for success in today’s competitive retail landscape. By asking the right questions, you can evaluate potential partners and select a solution that aligns with

your business needs.

As a leader in the competitive and market intelligence space, having successfully carried out hundreds of implementations with some of the world’s biggest brands, EDITED has clarity on what is critical regarding functional capability and service support.

FT spring

isn’t groundbreaking,

fix it. Spring Couture collections across the globe shared the same sentiment as they all heroed pastel hues. Fortunately, florals didn’t quite make its rounds like it normally does.

Starting off strong, Schiaparelli’s Haute Couture collection was inspired by unusual colour references, like this muted pastel green in a hue like Mara 134298, and an inventory of ribbons from an antique store that dated back to the 1920s and 1930s.

“Before the war, many of these ribbons were created in Lyon, and shipped around the world. But when Germany invaded France, many of these spools of ribbon were hidden away, lost for a period to history.”

Following the celebration of Elie Saab’s 45th anniversary, the brand unveiled its Spring Couture collection with a polished range filled with soft pinks in a perfect match to Mara 6-568. “I wanted to express the happiness that peace has brought and the desire to celebrate beauty once again,” Saab said. “Fashion can convey a powerful message of positivity, hope and humanity.”

Featuring a striking blue like Mara 11-3933, Zuhair Murad’s Spring Couture collection showcased his mastery in luminous transparent textiles and intricate crystal embroidery. A beautiful balance of skin and silk, boasting bold, effortless shapes.

Tamara Ralph Spring 2025 Couture took a dramatic turn with its show under the gothic arches of the American Catherdral paired with a soloist on the grand piano. The show was described as a grab bag of candy colours with hues like raspberry, pistachio, and this look in a lemon like Mara 1-610.

South Korean designer Miss Sohee presented a Spring 2025 Couture collection that showcased sensually sculpted silhouettes that accentuated the body. Petals were an inspiration for the collection for its shape and form. The collection striked a balance between western contemporary style and delicate eastern grace, like this look in a hue like Mara 7-211.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Couture collection was filled with ethereal seafoam corsets like this one in a close pairing to Mara 12297. Wet-look models walked down the runway with sequin scaled skirts, the collection was aptly titled Le Naufrage which translates to The Shipwreck.

CONNECTED DATA, ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS:

A NEW ERA OF RETAIL

INTELLIGENCE

STAYING AHEAD IN THE EVER-CHANGING RETAIL

LANDSCAPE

As a merchandiser, you understand that retail does not wait for anyone. Market trends shift, consumer preferences change, and competitors evolve. If you are not one step ahead, you are already behind in the world of retail.

In such a landscape, time is of the essence. Decisions must be made quickly, yet they demand a foundation of comprehensive, connected data.

This is where an integrated retail intelligence solution becomes indispensable.

THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED DATA

While access to data is crucial, your job is not to be a data analyst. Even if it were, with the insurmountable amount of data available, often in silos, you can’t see the complete picture.

Combining market insights with customer and internal business data – think inventory, transaction, etc. – in one

comprehensive view saves valuable time and provides the context for holistic decisionmaking.

Market data contextualizes what is happening with insights from the competition. Seeing your internal and customer metrics next to market data in one view allows you to benchmark your performance and uncover opportunities to maximize profit. Without a tool to integrate and make all of this data accessible in one platform, you only get a piece of the puzzle and lack overall clarity.

MOVE FROM ANSWERING WHAT’S HAPPENING TO TAKING IMPACTFUL ACTION

When you analyze data yourself or use a tool that doesn’t connect these data sets, you’re only scraping the surface of possible insights and making decisions with incomplete information.

Without connected, data-driven insights from a comprehensive retail intelligence tool, you spend too much time trying to piece together what is happening, leaving you no time to understand why and take action to make changes.

Connected insights, however, go further than showing you averages and, instead, surface specific and actionable opportunities for you.

AI-DRIVEN RETAIL INTELLIGENCE PLATFORMS

The significance of merging market insights with internal and customer data in a retail intelligence solution goes beyond convenience. With the right retail intelligence software, the challenges of formulating the right questions, locating relevant data, and combining business and market data fade away.

With pre-configured dashboards, you can select the most relevant questions you need answered rather than combing data sources, or even having to come up with the questions to ask of the data yourself.

CONCLUSION

EDITED uniquely consolidates competitor, company, and customer data into a single, easily accessible interface. You no longer have to jump between separate data sources for the information you seek.

This clarity allows for a view of performance that is marketinformed, profit-aware, and customer-centric. It empowers you to be a merchandiser, not a data analyst, with actionable insights and opportunities for improved performance across the product lifecycle.
