People everywhere are having to rethink what they wear to accommodate changes in climate and unforeseen atmospheric extremes. Shielding from the sun, beating the heat and meteorological preparedness are among their evolving priorities. We highlight the wealth of opportunity that exists in helping consumers dress for the weather.

Innovating for Unknowns & Extremes

Responding Better to (Un)Seasonality

In August 2023 alone, more than 100 million people in the US were operating under heat alerts (NBC, 2023), and in most global territories, this is becoming a regular reality of life.

Innovating for Unknowns & Extremes

Responding Better to (Un)Seasonality

The fashion industry’s reluctance to see beyond traditional calendar seasons still hampers its ability to respond effectively to the changing climate. From reframing resort wear and wet weather gear, to rethinking manufacturing models and markdown periods, there are multiple ways a brand can flex its product planning to prevent the elements from negatively impacting sales.
