Consumer Edge Data Points to 20+% Rise in One Fast Fashion Brand; Luxury Takes a Hit

Consumer Edge

Fast fashion continues to gain traction in the U.S. market while luxury spending takes a hit, possibly as a result of shrinking disposable income, according to recent data from Consumer Edge (CE), a provider of global consumer transaction data. In the U.S., one of the largest markets in the world for fast fashion and luxury shopping, spend on fast fashion grew 2% compared to the same period last year, according to CE data. This is a sharp contrast to spending in the direct-to-consumer (DTC) luxury industry where in 2023 spending was down over 7% compared to the nearly 15% increase in 2022. “Our data points to the challenging macroeconomic environment having a considerable impact on spending habits in 2023,” said Michael Gunther, Vice President and Head of Insights at Consumer Edge. “The bifurcated performance, with more affordable fast fashion increasing while luxury brands decrease, is likely because of a squeeze on real incomes. This dynamic logically plays out in the luxury sector where products tend to have a higher price tag.” Fast Fashion vs Luxury One of the big winners in fast fashion in the U.S. is Chinese fast fashion giant Shein. The company continued to exhibit robust growth throughout the year. In the 10 months of 2023, Shein’s sales increased by more than 20% compared to the same period in 2022 Another winner in fast fashion was Uniqlo, which was up 28% in 2023. Shein now has the biggest share of fast fashion spend in the U.S. (c40%). One of the casualties of Shein’s rapid growth appears to have been H&M, which has seen its share of U.S. spend decline by about 2ppts in the 12 months to November 2023. Luxury bore the brunt of a relatively soft appetite for discretionary spend. Major brands, such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Burberry have all exhibited sizable declines in spend growth in 2023. Hermes, however, has been the bright spot in the industry; the brand has seen spend increase by close to 15% in the first 10 months of 2023. Resilient Older Shoppers CE data also showed that younger shoppers in the U.S. (younger than 35) appear to have had a decreasing appetite to purchase both fast fashion and luxury products compared to last year. This decreased demand could reflect lower discretionary incomes that leave them in a more challenged position to weather macroeconomic pressures. In 2022, 11% of shoppers aged 35+ in the U.S. purchased a fast fashion product. This has remained the same in 2023. In the luxury segment, 10% of shoppers aged 35+ purchased a product in 2022, while in 2023, the number stood at 9%. The potential obstacle to the expansion of fast fashion in the U.S. arises if there is increased emphasis on sustainability, similar to the trend in France and Italy, where governments incentivize individuals to repair their worn-out clothing and footwear.

Maroon 5 wows a packed festival crowd at the 8Wonder Winter Festival in Phu Quoc

VinFast Auto

PHU QUOC, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 19 December 2023 - By the time the festival lights came down at the 8Wonder Winter Festival in Phu Quoc, legendary pop-rock icons Maroon 5, supported by a host of top Vietnamese stars had turned in an incredible series of performances lasting over 6 hours. A global audience of over 4 million online viewers tuned in to watch the headliners perform hit songs from their incredible catalogue, and the 11,500-crowd gathered at Phu Quoc United Center were left breathless. Maroon 5 stunned participants with an "explosive" 75-minute performance. From the first familiar beats of 'Moves Like Jagger', an excitable and energetic crowd at Phu Quoc Grand World Square "exploded" with excitement as the band took the stage. The six members of the legendary group appeared against the backdrop of the giant "Heavenly Sphere" stage under the theme "from twilight till first light", with amazing visuals that lit up the whole Grand World Square. The 75-minute show included a selection of Maroon 5's best-loved classics, taking the audience on a musical journey through a three-decade legacy. In addition to the dynamic opening song, other hits performed included 'This Love', 'Sunday Morning', 'Payphone', 'One More Night', and 'Sugar'. For the amassed fans gathered at the festival, and to those watching online, the craftsmanship and passion of the six experienced band members was all too evident, and Maroon 5 worked tirelessly to ensure the adoring crowd enjoyed every moment. This was the first chance for Vietnamese audiences to get an up-close and personal look at each of the talented band members, from the bombastic, funk-laden drumming of Matt Flynn, the intricate and precise fretwork of guitarists James Valentine & Jesse Carmichael, to the thunderous bass of Sam Farrar and the arrangements of keyboard player PJ Morton. The Grand World square automatically turned into a world-class "music paradise," resonating with cheers each time the familiar song lyrics began. As the setlist progressed, Adam Levine took time to involve the Phu Quoc audience in some backing vocals on tracks like 'This Love', 'Memories', 'Animals', 'Maps', 'Don't Wanna Know'. But the highlight of the evening was an impromptu visit to the audience to serenade watching fans, supported by guitarist Valentine on 'She Will Be Loved'. Levine's effortless charm was encapsulated when mid-song he used a fan's phone to take a selfie video with lucky audience members, creating a truly memorable moment at 8Wonder Winter Festival. Addressing the crowd during the show, Levine enthused over his enjoyment in Vietnam and the band's delight at being invited to the festival, "We're so honored to be here in beautiful Vietnam for our very first show. It took us 20 years to get here, but we'll definitely come back, and next time it'll definitely be sooner!" Vietnamese stars add their talent, energy and passion to an unforgettable night of music. The thousands of spectators amassed at Phu Quoc United Center not only had the opportunity to enjoy international superstars Maroon 5, but also got to savor a diverse musical feast featuring a plethora of famous Vietnamese artists. Explosive performances, including new hits and creative collaborations between Toc Tien and GreyD, Phuong Ly and JustaTee, Double2T and Xe Xe and the band Mau Nuoc rocked the stage of 8Wonder, and dazzled local music fans. One of the unique highlights of 8Wonder Winter Festival was the eye-catching debut performance of the VF 7 Dragon Forged model, appearing onstage with EDM virtuoso Touliver and the Hoang Thong dance group. This is a limited edition of the VinFast VF 7 with only 68 cars made, which will go on sale from January 1, 2024. This year's edition of 8Wonder Winter Festival provided an excellent opportunity to elevate the destination of Phu Quoc (translated as Pearl Island), a majestic tropical island paradise with world-class beach resorts, sunny skies and jaw-dropping sunsets. Further, the festival and its associated series of events and activities continue to draw attention towards the increasing stature of Vietnam as a prime tourist destination for global travellers. Indeed, that wonderfully positioned Phu Quoc as a picture-perfect beach destination. Speaking before the festival, Juergen Doerr, CEO of Vinpearl, said: "After major music festivals like 8Wonder, we expect international tourists to know Vietnam as a country of beautiful, friendly, and unique tourist destinations. With the added value of world music superstars and the elevated level of event experience, 8Wonder will be the leverage for Phu Quoc and Vietnam to become world-famous, loved, and attractive destinations to attract many tourists to return." The huge investment in world-class facilities along with the event's professional crew, sound, lighting and stage equipment and the collection of top Vietnamese music stars exceeded all expectations. The all-in-one ecosystem of culinary, entertainment and discovery offerings enabled 8Wonder Winter Festival to successfully deliver a top-notch festival experience for the thousands who flocked to Phu Quoc for this year's event. According to industry experts, Vietnam's ability to organize world-class music events has now been confirmed after two seasons of 8Wonder Festival. With Charlie Puth taking centre-stage in Nha Trang earlier this year, and Maroon 5 performing in Phu Quoc, 8 Wonder music festival has reached an elite stature as one of the top global entertainment events and music festivals, similar to Tomorrowland and Coachella. As this year's 8Wonder festival comes to a close, organizers can look back with pride after witnessing 6 hours of entertainment history in Phu Quoc, Vietnam. Maroon 5's blockbuster performance, ably supported by famous Vietnamese artists has created a journey of "Infinity Wonder" for thousands of audiences in the most beautiful sunset setting in Vietnam, have truly opened the door for more world-class events, all of which cannot help but to enhance Vietnam's popularity and position as one of the world's most attractive tourist destinations.

Investing in Cryptocurrency? Consider These 3 Top Picks for December 2023

Total Media

As December unfolds, the crypto market continues its journey, with Ripple (XRP), Avalanche Crypto (AVAX), and Pullix (PLX) gaining considerable attention. Each of these coins brings unique characteristics to the table. However, while XRP and AVAX are well-known, PLX is a new ICO currently in Stage 2 that experts forecast could become a 100x token in 2024. With over 3.2M tokens already sold, let’s find out what makes it appealing. The Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz recently admitted he was wrong about Ripple (XRP). He stated that Ripple has now evolved into an institution with an XRP army behind it that supports its ecosystem. In terms of the Ripple price movement, it increased from $0.60 on December 13 to $0.63 on December 14. From a technical analysis standpoint, this bullish trend may continue as the Ripple crypto has now experienced 16 out of the last 30 days trading in the green. Moreover, it now has over 24 bullish technical indicators - great signs for its future. Due to all these reasons, experts forecast the Ripple value reaching $0.65 before the end of December 2023 - making XRP a good crypto to buy. Avalanche Crypto (AVAX): Open Interest Reaches New High On December 12, the Avalanche Crypto (AVAX) open interest reached a new all-time high of $413M after a month of buildup. The Avalanche Crypto price surged, rising from $27 on December 7 to $38 on December 14. The technical analysis of Avalanche Crypto also paints a bullish picture, with its value now sitting above its 50 and 100-day EMAs. It also boasts a 72 (Greed) on the Fear & Greed index. This is a bullish chart for Avalanche Crypto, and market analysts have taken notice. Therefore, they foresee its value reaching $41.58 before 2023 finishes in their Avalanche Crypto price predictions. Pullix (PLX): The Best Cryptocurrency To Buy Today Pullix (PLX), a relative newcomer, has swiftly made its mark with its unique approach to trading. This hybrid DeFi trading platform will allow you to trade all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, gold, and stocks, all within a unified account. Since it combines the best aspects of CEX and DEX, you will also experience a 1000:1 leverage, deep liquidity, and much more. This crypto ICO event has caused a frenzy among the crypto community, with global investors flooding the PLX presale. It is now in Stage 2 but has already sold 3.2M tokens while raising $134,400. But this interest was not caused by the exchange only; Pullix will incorporate many components in its ecosystem: Lending Protocol: Money markets for lending and borrowing, which will manage pools of assets with fixed interest rates. Copy Trading: An AI-backed algorithm will allow you to replicate the trades of other successful Pullix traders and capitalize off their choices. VaultX: This decentralized, multichain yield optimizer will let you compound interest on your cryptocurrencies for the highest APYs. All these features are powered by the PLX native token, now worth only $0.042. However, as the presale advances, so will its value. Those who bought it early on are already enjoying a 5% ROI. Since it taps into many markets, like the forex market, which Baby Pips claims is the biggest, experts are bullish that PLX could rise by 580% during its presale. This makes PLX the best crypto to buy right now. Final Remarks While December is underway, altcoins such as Ripple and Avalanche could rise. However, their growth is hindered by their high market caps ($34B and $14B), respectively. On the other hand, Pullix will not have this issue as it boasts a low market cap of $8M. This means it would only need $8M for its value (and returns) to double. You can capitalize on this growth by signing up for its presale.

Why Has The Solana Price Dipped? This New Altcoin Has The Community Buzzing

Total Media

On 9th November we saw Solana hit $77, dipping to $64 on 13th November and currently standing at $72. Many Solana investors ask themselves why the dip happened. Is there a new altcoin that could rise despite the crypto market being down? Solana (SOL): Following the King With Bitcoin reaching the year's high at $44,620, many coins followed its surge. Solana followed with a 38% rise during the last month. Double that of Bitcoin with its 18%: However, the 11th December correction pushed Bitcoin down to $40,500. Although Solana has many benefits of its own, everything that happens with BTC echoes throughout the crypto community. As Bitcoin corrects itself to $40,500, Solana hits $68. We can also see Solana's second dip on the 13th, down to a week low of $64. This matches the Bitcoin price dip back to $40,800. As Bitcoin grows 4.7% today, Solana is up 10.14%. Every altcoin, even Solana, heavily depends on the SEC and ETF resolutions. However, until then, when BTC goes down, Solana will likely follow. Bitcoin, Solana, and other cryptos have fairly tied their fate together. Everlodge (ELDG): A New Altcoin That Surges Independently of Bitcoin There’s a new surging altcoin that isn’t as tied to Bitcoin as Solana and other altcoins. Everlodge is based on real estate and physical properties, making it dependent on real-world income streams instead of price speculation. Everlodge is the Airbnb of crypto. Villas and hotels are minted into fractionalized NFTs sold on an open market. Investors in those properties earn passive income from the renting profits. This feature makes Everlodge more resistant to Bitcoin dips since the passive income remains the same regardless of Bitcoin's price. If Bitcoin were to disappear, Everlodge would still be here shooting passive profits to your wallet. At the same time, Everlodge gains popularity as crypto does as well. Because of the additional interest in the project, Bitcoin's growth makes Everlodge grow as well. This makes Everlodge unique in its feature of benefiting from Bitcoin growth while also avoiding being brought down when Bitcoin is falling. You can purchase fractions of real estate instead of a whole house and still enjoy the perks of being an owner. By holding the ERC-20 token you can even earn free stays in properties across the ecosystem. This approach that guarantees passive income has been hailed by many for its dip-resistant features. While also holding a huge growth potential in the $300 trillion real estate market. Because of these features, analysts are predicting it is going to hit $0.035 during the presale phase and hit x30 at the launch date. It won’t be available at these prices for long as the presale moves forward. Visit the official Everlodge website before these low prices are no longer available.

As Enthusiasm Softens Around Avalanche (AVAX) and Fantom (FTM) Coins, Pullix (PLX), Presale Builds Unstoppable Buzz

Total Media

The recent price drop suffered by Avalanche and Fantom has created doubt in the hearts of traders. They have slowed down on accumulation and gone to new ICO tokens like Pullix. Let's find out why. Avalanche (AVAX) Falls Below $40 Over the last few days, Avalanche (AVAX) experienced a significant rise, surpassing the $25 resistance. AVAX increased by more than 50%, surpassing multiple obstacles in the $30 range. Avalanche surged beyond $40 before succumbing to bearish pressure. Avalanche crypto recently reached a fresh multi-month high above $43.06. The token, however, had a negative adjustment. This resulted in a 15% drop in price, with the price falling below $38. Looking ahead, Avalanche has an immediate hurdle around the $38.00 zone. If Avalanche crypto price fails to go higher towards the $38.00 or $40.00 levels, it could drop to $35. Avalanche crypto is still trading above $30, fluctuating between $25.45 and $42.28. While the token is down 12% on the daily chart, it has a 37% gain on the weekly chart. Fantom (FTM) Under Bearish Hold In recent weeks, the Fantom (FTM) network has conducted several projects to increase its blockchain's active user base. Despite this growing network activity, Fantom coin experienced a recent decline in its price. According to CoinMarketCap, the Fantom price dropped 4% on December 13th from a high of $0.406953 to a low of $0.366386. Nevertheless, the Fantom price is 8.6% and 13.4% up on the weekly and monthly charts, respectively. Santiment data has shown that Fantom's Network Growth has increased recently. New addresses are being created on the network. According to analysts, Fantom crypto is predicted to rise 26.15% to $0.463565. Pullix (PLX), DeFi Swap and Copy Trading Platform Pullix (PLX) would function as a platform that is aimed to centralize trading options and increase liquidity. This would allow traders to access various assets like Forex pairs and Gold using a single account. The Forex market holds the top spot in the financial world with a massive daily volume of $6.6 trillion. Users no longer need numerous accounts or devices to trade different assets with Pullix. Instead, they can transition between asset classes with ease by using a single account and device. This makes Pullix's native token, PLX, the best crypto to invest in. The platform's connectivity to the Forex market could result in a capital inflow into the exchange. Such ties would attract more investors, thereby increasing the adoption of the PLX token. Subsequently, the value of the token will soar as well. Two crucial components of the ecosystem are swaps and copy trading. Pullix DeFi swap simplifies token trading with low fees. Pullix also serves as a completely decentralized exchange. Trading takes place against a liquidity pool using the automated market maker model (AMM), avoiding the necessity for a direct match with another trader. Pullix has also integrated AI-supported algorithms. Users would be able to emulate the most successful traders in the ecosystem. By doing so, they get to earn more tokens and increase their chances of success. Analysts have tipped Pullix as the best crypto to invest in. Conclusion Pullix is the new ICO traders are moving to as Avalanche and Fantom drop prices. The project has features like the Swap and copy trading options that help users increase their earnings. The Pullix token is currently up for sale at just $0.042 per piece.

Trump Launches NFT Mugshot Collection on Polygon as NFTs Show Signs of Comeback

RoundHouse Media

The former U.S. president, Donald Trump, is back on the NFT scene. Trump has launched another collection after generating millions of dollars in sales of his first two collections. His latest collection is his largest set of NFTs to date. And Trump's recently launched NFT collection is also right on cue. The debut of his latest collection comes amidst a resurgence in the NFT space. Sales of these digital assets have skyrocketed, exciting users. Another sector that has seen a boom is crypto presales. Creating the ultimate solution, Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) has raised over $1 million in just a few weeks. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS<< President Trump Has Launched An NFT Collection of His Mugshots Seemingly enjoying NFT's spotlight, former president Donald Trump has launched his third NFT collection: Trump Digital Trading Cards: MugShot Edition. But there's already been some hype about his latest NFT collection, as this collection features the infamous mugshot that was taken in Georgia on August 24. Trump has turned an unprecedented moment in American history into an NFT collection of 100,000 collectibles. Some collectibles are touted as "the only one in the world." Unconventional? Yes, but this NFT collection was greeted with great success. While each collectible is priced at $99 apiece, series 1 & 2 sold out in hours. They were also launched on the Polygon network, tapping from its scalability. Also, the buzz generated from Trump's latest NFT journey comes at a time of resurgence for these assets. NFTs Have Forced a Comeback In 2021 and early 2022, non-fungible tokens were at the height of their prowess. However, the crypto winter struck, causing the prices of most digital assets to collapse.
