I spent yesterday dinner at Crescent Mall in D7 and the contrast was a awakening for me On paper, 2026 outlook is glowing: IIP is up double digits and we’re chasing 10% GDP target. But walking through the mall was a different story. Many shops have left and several storefronts sit vacant. Those were often brands that relied on being international or established as their only value prop. But I think that no longer is enough here. Conversely, Zara and my favorite! Massimo Dutti has a concept type of store and I also thought of Vinamlik and their rebranding (not investment advice :)). Some local trendy brands seems to have figured out the new playbook (shoutout to STEEL gym) Vietnamese consumers are changing for real. They are no longer spending just because they can. They are value optimizing and identity matching, punishing brands that haven’t evolved and rewarding those that offer a distinct vibe and explicit quality Middle class is still rising, but they are getting pickier by the hour

Inditex is redefining its global retail footprint with a strategic pivot toward experiential pop-up stores, launching high-profile activations for ZARA Man in New York and Massimo Dutti in Paris. CEO Óscar García Maceiras emphasized that these temporary spaces are key to "strengthening the business model" in 2026, serving as a tactical counter-balance to the group's recent closure of over 2,000 smaller locations. The Zara Man pop-up in SoHo, open through June, specifically tests the appetite for dedicated menswear boutiques in the U.S., while Massimo Dutti’s 10-day residency in Le Marais offers a curated "Limited Edition" experience alongside art galleries and artisanal cafés. This shift allows the Spanish giant to regain market penetration and compete with emerging urban labels that rely on disruptive, "buzz-worthy" retail moments to reach younger generations. By blending traditional tailoring with modern, short-term installations, Inditex is ensuring that its brand relevance remains high even as its permanent store network becomes more concentrated. To see the full details of Zara Man’s New York expansion roadmap and the list of creative collaborators for the Massimo Dutti Paris residency, read the complete report here: https://lnkd.in/eR2rV-7r #Inditex #ZaraMan #MassimoDutti #RetailStrategy #PopUpShop #FashionBusiness #NewYorkRetail #ParisFashion #LuxuryExperience #RetailInnovation2026

Interesting move: less scale, more curated pop-up experiences – Inditex sharpens its physical retail model while testing new menswear formats in New York and Paris.

Why did ZARA, MANGO & UNIQLO succeed in moving upmarket — while others struggled? They’ve mastered two key levers to win consumers wallet: price perception & price acceptance. 📊 Price perception is a subtle combination of: • Clear positioning vs competitors • Evolution of price architecture and quality • Disciplined approach to discounting • Target audience purchasing power 🛍️ Price acceptance is earned through: • Strong value for money (design, fit, quality) • Elevated store & online experience • Consistent brand storytelling & collaborations ☝️ The key? Synchronization & Timing Raising prices without upgrading the experience leads to one thing: being seen as just “more expensive.” That’s where Zara, Mango & Uniqlo stand out — aligning product, retail, and brand seamlessly. And it didn’t happen overnight: their prices were once close to H&M or Gap; today they’re often +50% higher —  reflecting a well-executed, gradual shift rather than a sudden repositioning.. Next move: defend and strengthen positioning — or move further into mid-market? Curious to hear your thoughts! #fashion #retail #strategy

One of the things I love most about traveling is seeing retail from a different perspective 🌍❤️ In more developed markets, you really start to notice that the strongest brands are not just about products — they’re built on a clear idea and purpose. I came across this message inside a UNIQLO store, and it really stayed with me. “What makes life better?” What I like about UNIQLO is how simple their answer is — clothing is not just about fashion, it’s part of everyday life. It should be comfortable, thoughtful, and accessible. And I think this is exactly why the brand is so successful. They focus on things that actually matter — functionality, simplicity, and quality. What they call LifeWear is really about creating pieces people can rely on every day. At the same time, you can clearly see where customer preferences are going today. People are choosing brands that combine sustainability, comfort, quality and practicality — but also still look good. And brands like UNIQLO manage to balance all of that in a very natural way. That’s also why so many people are waiting for them to enter new markets — it’s not just shopping, it’s something they genuinely want to have access to. For me, it’s a great example of how retail is evolving — becoming part of people’s everyday lives, not just something transactional. And honestly, I felt this especially strongly while being in Copenhagen ✨😍 #retail #colliers #retailagency #colliersbaltics

UNIQLO just opened its 30th store in France — its largest market in Europe. Located at 35 avenue de Wagram in Paris, near the Champs-Élysées and opposite Decathlon, the 1300M2 store benefits from strong purchasing power and a mix of local and tourist traffic. 🌍In Europe, Fast Retailing generated ~$2,4B last fiscal year (+33,6% YoY) and targets ~$3,2B this year. 📊H1 2026 highlights: • UNIQLO total: ~$11,5B (+17,5%) | EBIT 18,9% • Japan: ~$3,7B (+7,4%) | EBIT 19,2% • International: ~$7,8B (+22,4%) | EBIT 18,9% • Share of Fast Retailing: 88,7% revenue | 86,2% EBIT • Inventory/sales (Fast retailing total): 13,7% (-8,2% YoY) With revenue, margin (54,1%) and profit all rising, Fast Retailing is approaching Inditex levels (19,5% vs 20,1% EBIT). 👉 The “LifeWear” concept — functional, everyday fashion with a twist (let’s not forget barrel fit is also at Uniqlo 😉) — continues to resonate globally while the careful expansion and flawless execution drive profit up. With ~$24,5B expected in FY2026, could Fast Retailing overtake H&M (~$24,2B TTM)?
