FEDERICA LEVATO: Luxury is undergoing a major transformation. Digital technologies are reshaping customer journeys and customer touchpoints. Luxury companies are investing up to 50% of their marketing budget into digital activations. And e-commerce will become more than 25% of the luxury market in 2025.

Stores need to shift from a standardized to a location-specific format and concept, from an impressive experience to an immersive experience, and from being aspirational to really inspire and be inspirational for the customers. Stores will really become new circles and spaces for local communities to meet and spend time around brand and brand value, and to extend and expand customer lifetime value.
