A new report from the Boston Consulting Group details that the luxury resale market is expected to grow at a faster rate than the primary luxury goods market. According to The Fashion Law who first reported on the study, luxury resale expects a 12 percent average growth rate through 2021, as well as a nine percent share of the personal luxury goods market. This level of growth would outshine the primary luxury goods market that’s expected to grow at an average rate of three percent.
The survey states that 50 percent of customers in the US that have purchased a luxury item within the past year have also participated in the luxury luxury market. It also notes that “secondhand sellers typically use resale to regain some of the money they spent on firsthand purchases—often so they can reinvest in new, full-priced luxury products.”
Analysts who worked on the survey conclude that this is actually “a powerful opportunity” luxury brand consumer bases because they have the chance to convert resale consumers to the primary resale market. Boston Consulting Group’s study found that 44 percent of consumers surveyed said they purchase “more-expensive luxury items than they would have bought without a resale market.”
Along the same lines, Bloomberg’s Sarah Halzack and Andrea Felsted also argue that higher access to reselling platforms could actually encourage younger consumers to take the plunge and purchase primary luxury goods instead of resale. “Say you’re considering a classic Balenciaga City bag for about $2,000 USD. Is it worth the investment? A scroll around The RealReal shows that you might be able to resell it for about $600.” They note that this could be “exactly the kind of assurance a first-time millennial or Generation Z luxury buyer needs to take the plunge on a pricey accessory.”

Jeffrey Kalinsky’s Fall Trend Forecast:
If there is one bold font message from the Fall 2018 shows, it’s that fashion is forever changing. In a world where bothmenswear and womenswear are being presented together, brands are evolving from the notion of seasonal collections.
If we had to choose one word to describe the season, it is #EMPOWERMENT. The expression of femininity came in many differentshapes and sizes. From sharp shoulder outerwear, to an array of shine and iridescent colors, Fall 18 was anything but safe.
Other notable trends we noticed on the runways:
Sparkle: Traditional sequins just don’t cut it! Your favorite knits, dresses, and coats have been transformed into exploded novelty items. The whirl of paillettes storming down the runway was hard to miss and the most shimmering jumpsuits were sent down the cat walk.
Oversize: Enormous fashion, anyone? Don’t be afraid to layer up with 2-in-1 pieces or oversized strong shoulder outerwear reminiscent of the 80’s. Designers are delivering exciting collaborations with this trend.
Sports: Go team go! Many designers took to the sports culture, each creating their own athletic inspired merchandise.
Neon: Not afraid of color! Fall 2018 brings you iridescent dresses that can be seen from a mile away. On the runway, there were eye-popping neons (pink, green, and orange) in every type of fabric imaginable, including florescent infused knits.
Plaid: Plaid looked richer than ever this season. We saw perfect tailoring to strong outerwear, all featuring plaid or plaid prints.
My eyes were blinded by the shimmer and sparkle of head-to-toe sequins shining bright in all their brilliance as the model walked the walk for Jeffrey Kalinsky. I entered into the fittings as a runway look by designer [Michael] Halpern was being styled for the show. Jeffrey and JFC Co-chair Lila Hertz were focused, possibly mesmerized, by the model who wore a green, blue and purple sequin jumpsuit with matching knee-high sequin boot - a Halpern/Louboutin collab. The glamazons continued to march out of the Jeffrey Atlanta dressing room in showstoppers by Balenciaga, Givenchy, Dries Van Noten and Saint Laurent. If this preview was any indication of what's to come Monday, August 27 to the Jeffrey Fashion Cares runway, then hold on because JFC is planning to blow you away with a fashion tornado of the latest and hottest Fall looks of the season!
The 26th anniversary of Jeffrey Fashion Cares will benefit Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta, the Atlanta AIDS Fund (AAF), and the Medical University of South Carolina. Last year’s sold-out event raised nearly $860,000 for the organizations, and in its history, Fashion Cares has grown into one of the largest combined AIDS and breast cancer benefits in the country. For the 2018 philanthropic affair, guests are invited to mix, mingle and enjoy an unforgettably stylish evening in a completely transformed and private environment in the Monarch Court at the recently renovated Phipps Plaza.
