On November 7th, Fashion Evolution: Consumer Power will discuss the most talked about and challenging topics facing the retail and fashion industries today. Keynote speaker Amy Hall, Director of Social Consciousness at Eileen Fisher, will lead into an expert panel discussion with executives from:

Organized by Ampleen, Fashion Evolution will highlight on how consumers are driving the industry and welcoming Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into their culture. The evening will examine how far Sustainability and CSR have come and what the future holds for them. Not to mention, it will be a fabulous networking opportunity complimented by wines, small snacks and an environmentally friendly reusable and recyclable gift from FACE Stockholm.

Oo! Sounds like a powerful gathering. I will be there in spirit, residing in San Francisco. While discussing how consumers are driving the industry and welcoming Sustainability and CSR into their culture, it would be ideal to include the relevant topic of aging because, based on US 2010 Census numbers, the average age of women in this country is 38.5. This number is increasing as our population continues to age. If fashion retailers want to maintain profitability, they need to cast their net wider now and evolve from youth-focus advertising to include women of all ages. "Youthful knows no age." The wise retailers will embrace this trajectory. Giving women the fashion role models they crave and strengthening their bottom line. It's a win/win. Enjoy!
