letter

In 2014, the global commerce opportunity is
predicted to be $1.5 Trillion.
is is in large part due to developing and
emerging markets–the growth in India for
instance, is predicted to be double that of the
United States (and luxury shoppers there spend
twice as much).
While we've traditionally focused on countries
with the most established startups environments
(typically the US and parts of Europe), we decided
that it was high time that we take you on a journey
around the globe. In this issue, we look at
international fashion tech: the huge players, the
startups, the meet ups, the investments, and the
trends.
We hope you find this issue especially informative;
we learning a lot of really fantastic things as we
worked to put it together for you!
