Fashionology Summit Recap And The One Conversation Nobody Had.
June 6, 2026 at The Glasshouse, NYC.
Yesterday at Fashionology Summit in New York, I sat through some genuinely sharp panels.
WGSN and McKinsey on trend forecasting.
GAP and eBay on shifting shopping behaviors.
Shopify and Rent the Runway on omnichannel.
The RealReal, ThredUp, and Depop on resale.
TikTok, Snap, and ShopMy on the influence economy.
Manufacturing, wearables, modern commerce.
Retail investment overview.
It was all there.
The moderators did an exceptional job moving through complex topics in tight windows. Real depth, real conversation.
The themes that dominated were exactly the right ones: Tech-enabled design, AI in merchandising, the evolving relationship between DTC and wholesale, and how brands are navigating every channel at once.
Fashionology is filling a real gap in the industry calendar and this one delivered.
One notable absence though, and it was a big one.
Operational infrastructure. ERP.
The systems layer that sits underneath everything discussed on that stage.
You can have best-in-class trend intelligence, a converting Shopify build, and a full influencer playbook, but if your back-end systems are not connected and talking to each other, none of it scales the way it should.
That conversation never happened, and for me as a C-suite attendee, it should have been on the agenda....especially for Omni-channel brands.
