It may be summer holiday season – but fashion retail has been buzzing with activity, writes Drapers deputy editor Gabriele Dirvanauskas. Our cover story is the womenswear spring/summer 27 buying guide which will see you – and your customers – through the next summer season. As Inditex’s Lefties prepares to land in the UK this summer, Drapers gets an exclusive tour of its newest store, at the Valvert Croix Blanche shopping centre on the outskirts of Paris, with global director Xavier Ruz Riera. Plus: We are shining a spotlight on emerging industry talent with the launch of Drapers 30 Under 30 2027. It is free to submit your entry and the new cohort will be profiled in the January 2027 issue of Drapers.
