In the West, fashion retail is experiencing the collapse of major e-commerce platforms and a luxury slump, but Japan has maintained its status as a resilient fashion market partly due to its innovative retail. Though some Japanese stores remain on the smaller side, they create experiential shopping environments and often place well-known designers alongside emerging ones which resonates with their customers. {Vogue Business/paywalled}
