THIS MONTH, OUR NEWSLETTER GETS INTO SOMETHING BFCM IS ABOUT TO PUT TO THE TEST. DOMAINE PARTNERED WITH SHOPIFY AND DRAPERS TO SURVEY 2,000 UK CONSUMERS ON HOW THEY'RE ACTUALLY USING AI TO SHOP FOR FASHION. TWO THINGS STOOD OUT: THE BEST AI EXPERIENCES ARE INVISIBLE, AMBIENT AND HELPFUL, WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF THE EXPERIENCE. WE'RE ALSO STRUCK THAT CONSUMERS TRUST AI RECOMMENDATIONS AT A LEVEL THEY NEVER EXTENDED TO SEARCH, BECAUSE LLM RESULTS DON'T FEEL LIKE ADVERTISING. WE'LL BE LEANING INTO THESE THEMES AND OTHERS AS WE PREPARE FOR NOVEMBER.
ICON SKINCARE
Building from sister brand iS Clinical's foundation, we helped shape a more cinematic digital experience while bringing Icon's distinct visual identity to life online. The result is a digital storefront that feels as considered as the brand itself.
AI is no longer just hype. Fashion shoppers are already using it to discover products, compare options and make purchase decisions. But what does that actually mean for fashion brands?
Co-authored by Domaine and Shopify, the latest Drapers Industry Report, Beyond the Buzz: How Fashion Shoppers Are Actually Using AI, explores where AI is influencing the buying journey, what fashion brands should focus on next, and what this means for your strategy. Whether you're preparing for BFCM or looking beyond it, the report offers practical insights into the next wave of AI in fashion ecommerce.
Last BFCM, AI-driven visits to retail sites surged by 805%, with shoppers arriving through AI assistants 38% more likely to convert. If AI already played such a big role in the buying journey last year, it’s worth asking what that means for your brand this BFCM.
Fashion ecommerce is getting more complex. From growing DTC and international markets to high SKU counts and omnichannel experiences, brands need a commerce setup that can keep up. Those are the key considerations for fashion brands looking to scale without adding unnecessary complexity.
