DYSTOPIAN RETAIL


Harry and I discuss the dystopian future of retail after The Fabricant posed the question: ‘Will physical fashion become obsolete?’, Australian department store David Jones is sold as a ‘Christmas Bargain’ for $150Million to private investors, and SHEIN is named the top brand of the year. Harry (The Economist) breaks down the bleak state of inflation reflected in alternative milk, coffee, and cinema prices and I (The Forecaster) expand on #customisationcore via Boba, Starbies, and Froyo. Will there be a referendum on napkin distribution and compulsory hankies? There is really only one way to solve this disaster: MAGIC.
