The modern day retailer and the death of clothing
summary
Retailers report concrete scale and experiments: a styling service runs 2.7 million active clients backed by ~4,000 human stylists plus machine learning for personalization; a fashion-tech marketplace connects 1 million daily users to 2,000 brands; a resale exchange authenticates and trades 20,000 pairs a day and runs Dutch‑auction drops with brands; apparel spend falls as prices drop while ecommerce is ~13% of US retail and 3D body scanning remains immature so stores get repurposed as curated experience centers.
