Why Authenticity Matters: The Importance of Trust in the Resale Market In the world of fashion and sneaker resale, trust is everything. Without it, buyers are hesitant, and sellers struggle to build reputations. That’s why at Noble, authenticity is at the core of everything we do. We’ve all seen stories of people getting scammed with fake sneakers—some even unknowingly passing them on. With Noble, we’ve designed a platform that ensures every listing goes through a rigorous verification process before it’s available for sale. No one should have to second-guess the quality of what they’re buying or selling. When trust is built through authenticity, everyone wins. 🌟 #TrustInFashion #SneakerResale #NobleApp #AuthenticityMatters #BuildTrust

Denim is one of the hottest fashion trends around, yet Levi Strauss & Co. sales missed estimates, says Andrea Felsted for Bloomberg Opinion Shares in Levi Strauss & Co. fell as much as 16% in premarket trading after second-quarter sales missed expectations. Although revenue in the three months to May 26 came in at $1.44 billion — only just below the $1.45 billion average of analysts’ estimates — the performance should have been better. Let’s not forget that shout-out from #Beyoncé in March, prompting the company to change its Instagram name to “Levii’s.” That’s the kind of publicity that other apparel companies can only dream of.

"Rhode vs. Rhode: A Battle of Brands". Hailey Bieber's skincare brand, Rhode, and New York fashion label Rhode-NYC have settled a trademark dispute that began in June 2022. Rhode-NYC had alleged that Bieber's use of the 'Rhode' name infringed on their trademark, leading to potential consumer confusion due to Bieber's high-profile status. Despite Rhode-NYC's attempts to prevent the use of the name through a preliminary injunction, the court allowed Bieber’s brand to continue operations while the legal battle progressed. The settlement terms remain confidential, but it likely involved compromises from both sides. This case highlights the growing importance of trademark protection, especially with the rise of celebrity-backed brands. It serves as a reminder of the need for thorough trademark searches and the challenges faced by emerging brands against well-established entities. The dispute illustrates the delicate balance between protecting brand identities and fostering market innovation, underlining the complexities of intellectual property law in an increasingly competitive industry.

CONDE NAST AND UNION STRIKE DEAL, AVOIDING MET GALA DISRUPTION After months of negotiation over its first contract and proposed layoffs, the Condé Union, which represents employees of Vanity Fair, Vogue and GQ Magazine reached a deal with Condé Nast just hours ahead of the Met Gala, where union members had been threatening to protest.“On behalf of the management bargaining committee and leaders throughout the business, we are pleased to come to tentatively agreed terms on a contract with the union ... We are happy to have a contract that reflects and supports our core values - our content and journalism,” said Condé Nast chief people officer Stan Duncan in an email to staff at 3:30 am on May 6, viewed by BoF. The new contract includes $3.6 million in wage increases, and eight weeks of severance for laid-off employees, according to a statement from the The NewsGuild of New York, the union’s organising body. On Instagram, the union said it also established a $61,500 starting salary floor. Members will vote to ratify the contract later this week.In the week leading up to the event — which is sponsored by Condé Nast, hosted by the company’s chief content officer Anna Wintour, historically staffed by Vogue employees, and a big night for content generation across Condé-owned publications — union members turned up the pressure on management, presenting a work stoppage pledge on Apr. 29. On May 5, the Union posted a list of employees ready to “do whatever it takes for a fair contract” saying “meet us at the table or we will meet you at The Met,” on Instagram.”We made a commitment to do whatever it takes to get our contract,” said Mark Alan Burger, Vanity Fair social media manager and a member of the union bargaining team. “All the actions we took this week pushed the company to really negotiate.” 🐿 learn more by Joan Kennedy: https://lnkd.in/gi-JG_nK #ai #web3 #metaverse #fashion #investment #crypto #defi #technology #union

The luxury market is shifting from flashy to refined as Chinese consumers embrace “hushed luxury." That is, high-quality, timeless products that do not overtly display their brand. This cultural development could provide investment opportunities in brands known for their timeless appeal and superior craftsmanship. Nigel Green explains how these trends could shape global consumption patterns - and importantly - how you can make the most of this transformation. https://lnkd.in/eaJ_wFGf . . . #luxuryinvesting #chinaeconomy #wealthmanagement #devere #investmentopportunities #financialplanning
