Department stores bounce back

I’ve oft spoken about the ‘death of the department store’. The Wall Street Journal has countered, talking about a bounce back. Visualised as a measure of sales, the death of the department store looks as follows. The question it raises is whether the last point represents a bounce back or simply the reactionary bump that every large object endures having plummeted down to earth.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
