STORiES Webinar Ep. 3: New York

This episode takes us straight to the heart of one of the world’s most iconic and ever-changing retail landscapes: New York City.

Why New York?

New York isn’t just a city. It’s a living, breathing retail ecosystem. Every corner, every block, every window tells a story of ambition, reinvention, and experimentation. It’s where the biggest retail statements are made, and unmade, at rapid speed.

But let’s be real. As exciting as it sounds when I jet off to another city to explore “what good and great looks like,” this isn’t a luxury travel diary. This is about learning from the edge to shape what’s next.

What makes NYC different?

In New York, innovation doesn’t wait for approval chains or five-year plans. You’ll see flagship stores pushing boundaries with tech, design, and storytelling, while neighbourhood concepts bring it back to community, culture, and hustle.
