Personalization as a business model is taking over almost every facet of everyday life. There is no such thing as a simple cup of coffee anymore. Today imbibers not only request a size, they dictate the cream (or cream alternative) of their choice, the provenance of the beans and the temperature to the degree. The same phenomenon has taken over the airwaves. Listeners are no longer content with the radio. Now everyone’s a DJ, streaming their favorite songs on a constant loop.

In a world in which consumers have grown used to curating their experiences, it’s inevitable that the trend will impact apparel, but thus far it’s unclear how and to what extent.
