Ep 71. Behind the Scenes at Paris Fashion Week

The Nordy Pod

If you're not particularly familiar with how the fashion cycle happens throughout the year, there are really two major seasons: one in the fall and one in the spring. And during this time all of the prominent fashion designers and fashion brands dump quite a bit of money into some pretty extravagant runway shows to present highly exclusive audiences with their latest merchandise. And though there are a lot of different week-long fashion events held around the world, what we're focused on are the Big Four: New York, London, Milan and Paris. And those all happen back to back and in that order. So, for our teams that travel to each of these cities, going from show to show and soaking up tons of new information, it's a lot of busy days and a really long time that they’re away from home. But it's also obvious that they really love the experience and they recognize that it's a super important time, and a crucial part of how we stay current and relevant, and ultimately how we best serve our customers by offering them the best brands in the world. It's also a really great opportunity for us to meet up with some of our brand partners in these different cities to talk about our business together and our strategies going forward.
