In this episode, Ellen Wood is joined by Julian Osorio and Carlos Oropeza to break down key findings from Miebach’s North American Fashion Benchmarking Study. Drawing on insights from hundreds of industry leaders across the US, Canada, and Mexico, they explore how fashion brands are investing selectively in visibility, automation, and network design to stay resilient in a rapidly changing market.
