A version of this story was originally published in 2022. Thanks to a seemingly constant procession of historic cultural and macroeconomic events — from pandemics, trade disruptions and inflation surges, to the rise of Gen Z and new technology — the fashion industry is changing faster than ever. One byproduct of this is a job market that looks pretty different today than it did a few years ago . As technology revolutionizes the way we shop and consume information, some of the fastest-growing fashion companies are starting to look and act more like tech companies . The National Retail Federation (NRF) and Forrester Research recently predicted that, by 2029, 29% of total U.S. retail sales will come from e-commerce. Their study also found that 45% of retail business and tech professionals, whose companies prioritize customer experience, said that "adding or improving digital experiences was a key action for them." Innovation is happening faster than ever, brands are inves...

ChatGPT is working on positioning itself as a destination for personalized shopping recommendations , while major brands like Gap and Ralph Lauren (among many others) have embraced their own AI assistants.

Consumers can send in prompts ("I need a floor-length gown for a black-tie wedding ," for example) that are routed to ShopMy's personal shoppers, who are called "curators" in the platform...

"The fresher the better" is a guiding principle most of us follow when it comes to what we eat and drink. But is that also the case when it comes to skin care ? Yes, according to the people behind "freshly made" skin-care brands like Exponent, Skinome and Skin at Peace. Unlike typical skin-care companies, these "fresh" brands create ointments, ampules and salves in small batches to retain potency of active ingredients — antioxidants, vitamins and botanical extracts — that tend to degrade over time, often without the use of preservatives common in standard skin care. While the FDA doesn't require cosmetics to have specific shelf lives or expiration dates on labels, the industry standard is that unopened skin-care products generally last two to three years, while opened products should be used within six months to a year. Conversely, freshly made, preservative-free skin-care needs to be used with much more urgency, usually within two to six months. W...
