This year, the Glossy Podcast featured top executives from fashion’s leading companies discussing the challenges they’re navigating and the strategies they’re investing in, among other topics. Throughout the conversations, several topics surfaced repeatedly. They included the changing role of department stores, the importance of opening stores and the perks of a strong brand heritage at a time when a brand story is everything. Navigating the right time to fundraise and catering to new consumer shopping behaviors, especially as a result of inflation, were also top topics. 

This special Year in Review episode features highlights from the year’s podcasts broken down by these topics. Have a listen to hear from industry insiders including Carolina Herrera creative director Wes Gordon, Tibi founder and creative director Amy Smilovic, and Etsy president and Chief Growth Officer Kruti Patel Goyal.
