Online shopping has been on a steady rise for the last 20 years, and traditional retailers are closing down their stores. We\u2019ve seen well established brands such as Abercrombie &amp; Fitch, American Apparel, Guess and JCPenny downsize their number of stores and even closing out for good. Is it the end of an era or a transition period to something new and improved?<\/p>\n<p>While stores are closing down, German Online Retailer Zalando just presented an expected 22-24% increase in revenue after 2017\u2019s first quarter. Swedish online retailers like Nelly and NA-KD are showing similar results.

The obviously pros are access and availability. Thanks to the Internet your physical location does no longer dictate what you can access. As long as you can pay for it the latest Gucci it-bag is yours no matter where you live. Furthermore you no longer need any kind of transportation, or even a pair of legs for that matter, to shop for fashion. I would almost go as far as to say that online retailers have democratized fashion.<\/p>\n<p>However there is the question of fit and feel. If you don\u2019t have the possibility to try on a pair of shoes in the store before you buy them, how will you know if they fit your feet? Most online retailers describe their products in-depth and provides\u00a0all possible measurements but there\u2019s still something special to experiencing the hand-feel of a garment. Because of this online shopping will evidently create more returns than in-store shopping and all shipping back and forth is another torn in the side of our planet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thewaveswemake.se\/malinviolawennberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-10.36.27-PM.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-135\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-135\" src=\"http:\/\/thewaveswemake.se\/malinviolawennberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-10.36.27-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2017-04-19 at 10.36.27 PM\" width=\"895\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewaveswemake.se\/malinviolawennberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-10.36.27-PM.png 895w, https:\/\/thewaveswemake.se\/malinviolawennberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-10.36.27-PM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/thewaveswemake.se\/malinviolawennberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-10.36.27-PM-370x246.png 370w, https:\/\/thewaveswemake.se\/malinviolawennberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-10.36.27-PM-770x511.png 770w, https:\/\/thewaveswemake.se\/malinviolawennberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-10.36.27-PM-452x300.png 452w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>From Business of Fashion interview with Farfetch<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Are we too lazy to visit a physical store?
