What is Retail Incognito?
If a given person takes a look at our media sources focused on the romanticization, exploitation, or general outlandishness...pick one, or any, or all...of our jobs and workplaces, there's a pretty good chance that those focused on the transaction and interaction of retail commerce are few and far between. Why is that?
As a publication themed around fashion and style, it's hard to imagine, even with the continued maturity and ease of access e-commerce has imprinted on just about everyone, a society in which we consume the tangible elements of clothing, shoes, accessories, and other such items outside of in-person, customer-facing venues. Yet, not many fashion blogs and publications take on this element of the ecosystem, which is strange as there's honestly a lot to discuss.
As a group that has spent a fair amount of time in the trenches of retail and e-commerce, we are compelled to address questions such as, "What is the current state of retail?", "How has retail changed throughout history?", and "Where is the retail industry headed in the future?", among other questions out there.
As some of the topics to be discussed have the potential to create divergent, and perhaps controversial viewpoints, we will be following our content and editorial policies to a potentially higher degree in this section. That being said, if we're executing our content reasonably well, we hope that the perspective and insight provided will guide a given reader, especially those not engaged in the retail industry day in and day out, to have new points of view toward the art, science, and business of retail transactions and interactions in out society today.
