📌WEEKLY MUST-KNOWS

RETAIL TECH
DressX Unveils AI Try-On And Shopping Agent

DressX launched DressX Agent, an AI-powered styling and try-on platform that creates digital twins from a selfie, styles full looks, and routes checkout to luxury partners like MyTheresa, Ssense, Farfetch, Diesel and Leam Roma. It targets high return rates and poor discovery by fusing LLM search with diffusion-based try-on, packaged in tiered memberships. This sets a new benchmark for personalized commerce that could lift conversion and reduce returns across luxury eCommerce.

DTC & COLLABS
Telfar And Timberland Stagger Exclusive Drop Windows

Telfar x Timberland launches Oct 3 exclusively on Telfar’s site and NYC flagship, followed by an Oct 8 release on Timberland.com and select stores, spanning loafers, mid/tall boots and bags priced $225–$700. The split-channel strategy concentrates hype and traffic into DTC before broadening reach, while premium materials and core wheat/black colorways prime sell-through. Expect constrained supply, resale pressure and strong urban market demand across both brand ecosystems.

Creative and media teams should note the pivot toward emotion-forward storytelling over product-forward visuals.
