 Shopping in Soho / Credit: beckains
From invite only websites like Gilt, websites dedicated to all things fashion such as Racked.com, and a proliferation of Twitters filling beauty and fashion niches, shopping has become something of a bloodsport where you can get what you want, when you want it, at a better price, Noting only a few of those Twitters helping you, here in New York City we have @nycshopping, @StyleLikeU, and @beautylab.
In a nod to the new paradigm, Twitter has recently announced plans develop more refined shopping advice with their service, as well as allowing a purchase to be made after you’ve inquired about those Louboutin‘s you absolutely must have.
Clearly, the market is changing radically. For help keeping a leg up on all these changes, next week on Jul 23 92YTribeca is hosting The New World of Sales with Racked.com. Racked editor Izzy Grinspan, Alexis Maybank, the co-founder of online sample sale phenomenon The Gilt Groupe, and Michael Townsend, the owner of Nolita’s innovative outlet boutique Inven-tory, will all be on hand to discuss the New World Fashion Order. Miss this at your own peril.
