The Knot Standard team had an incredible day at The Lead Innovation Summit! We were inspired by thought leaders, including our Strategic Advisor, Ken Pilot who moderated a session on navigating brand growth in uncertain times. Ken shared key insights, emphasizing that “behind every successful brand is a passionate leader” and underscored the importance of “creating an emotional connection with the customer.” We left feeling energized and equipped with new strategies to drive our brand forward.

We are excited to introduce the latest feature on OnDemand 2.0: Cast to Style Wall. This enhancement builds on the AI-powered Style Wall launched in 2019, which simplified in-store customization. The Style Wall personalizes client appointments with a life-sized, voice-activated digital design tool, integrating a client’s order history, preferences, and stylist recommendations. It displays customization options and curated collections during the garment design process. The new Cast feature allows stylists to connect to a Style Wall directly from the OnDemand interface, effortlessly casting products and occasion scenes from an iPad or Phone. This enhances interactivity, streamlines workflows, and bridges the gap between online and physical showrooms, making the custom shopping process more intuitive and visually inspiring for customers. Whether creating wedding suits, casual chinos, or anything in between, the Style Wall offers customers better visual and more inspiration during the custom shopping experience.

In a still-challenging funding environment, DTC brands are getting creative in how they pursue growth. Case in point: Digitally native made-to-measure menswear brand Knot Standard is merging its retail business with Billy Reid, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Award-winning ready-to-wear brand known for its Southern take on preppy Americana, in a deal that closed this month, the companies confirmed to The Business of Fashion. With the merger, Billy Reid will immediately take over Knot Standard’s eight retail stores, making its ready-to-wear offering available in a combined total of 20 locations. Knot Standard will also provide its AI-powered made-to-measure software — which includes measurement and ordering tools it also sells to retailers like Brooks Brothers, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales — in all those locations. The combined business, which will operate under the Billy Reid name, is expected to bring in $45 million in sales this year, and at least 5 percent margins on the basis of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. Billy Reid will hold a majority stake in the combined business. Read the full story below, by BoF's Malique Morris
