In the second episode, join our host, Head of Advisory at Vogue Business, Anusha Couttigane alongside Tiffany Saunders (Campaigns and Runway Director at Oxford Fashion Studio) & Harriet Eccleston (British Fashion Designer) as they discuss the possibilities of personalisation to enhance customer experience but also create a more inclusive environment. They go into more depth on a collection they worked on which was produced for wheelchair users using adaptive design and launched for London Fashion Week. Give it a listen to learn more on... How personal is too personal? What’s the willingness of shoppers to part with data in order to guarantee a better experience? Are minorities and marginalised people being missed from the personalisation opportunity? What’s the level of granularity we can get to for personalisation? In a world where many consumer groups are still an afterthought (disabled, religious minorities, neuro-diverse), can we broaden our approach to personalisation to include these groups? How do brands prioritise what and how to personalise and outreach for being more inclusive?
