Key Retail Themes and Trends for 2023

Happy New Year!  We hope your holidays were filled with love, family and fun. It was so nice to take some time to unwind and relax after the hectic holiday retail season and all of the excitement of gifting. 

We're back and super energized to make 2023 the best year yet. As we turn our attention to market and scouting new international brands to add to our curated collections, we are inspired and invigorated.

In looking at some key retail themes for the upcoming year, we are so elated that  DUXSTYLE is ahead of the curve! Look out for more of the following trends and retail patterns as we stay true to our vision and authentic to our calling.

#1:  Artisanal Craftsmanship-  The vast interconnectivity of the global markets demands attention on the individual, human connection.  Creativity and craftsmanship are vital to the integrity and stories behind the designers and their products. Using handcrafted detailing such as elevated crochet, lace, gem adornments, tassels and whip stitching are among the fashion nuances you can look out for in the market this year.

#2: Sustainability- From colors to materials to production methods, fashion in 2023 is all about being green and aligning creativity with nature to preserve natural resources. Whether it's faux leather, re-usable denims, cottons or raffia, re-new, re-use, and up-cycle is truly making its mark.

#3: Automated Shopping Experiences- As the world becomes more accessible, so do products from all corners of the earth. The 2022 development of the meta-verse has shown us how virtual reality has become a retail buzzword.  In fact, the global industry is projected to reach into the trillions by 2030.  That translates, in part, to contactless, independent shopping which will reach new heights this year.  The ease of worldwide shipping and delivery, make online shopping a big deal.  As artificial intelligence gets smarter, it becomes more and more seamless to buy from your couch and have it in your hands in no time at all. 

Looking forward sharing all that's new with you!  xx
