LOOKING BACK TO LOOK FORWARD The Marc Jacobs brand is the brainchild of renowned designer and the brand’s namesake, Marc Jacobs. The Marc Jacobs brand creates beautiful, high-fashion shoes and clothing. Customisation in the future of retail is going to be built around experience. Collaboration, experimentation, individuality and comfort all provide the consumer with a new innovative way to interact with the product. In the future companies will need to assist their consumers in the design of the product. The resurgence of an independent consumer will bully the market into having to appreciate the fact that, the consumer always knows best and force selling will cease to exists.

usability, sustainability and experience.
