- So, what is a concept store?

It is a shop that sells a carefully curated and unique selection of products that connect to an overarching theme. Often they evoke a lifestyle that appeals to a specific target audience – they are inspirational. Handpicked products are pulled together from different brands and designers, and they usually span different lines, such as fashion, beauty and homewares. In addition, the display mixes these lines and products together in an attractive fashion.

Next time you're in a store look out for these factors you just might be intrigued

- I see brands innovating new ways to make life better, what do you see?

And as networks expand globally, the bar for products and services is being set higher. With so many Breakthrough Brands changing how people interact with the world, industry leaders are faced with the challenge of developing truly innovative and truly useful solutions. People are curating and streamlining their lives—they don’t just want more stuff, they want products and services that make their lives better. They want better and more connected experiences.
Naturally, technology has become a driver of these new products, services, and experiences, and, as we all know, it’s also totally transforming business models. Technology provides greater proximity to people—it allows brands to not only connect, but to become an integral part of their customers’ lives. It should be the conduit that ties together the business’s products and services and all of the brand’s experiences, and it has the potential to make seamlessness a reality.

- The 2016 social good trends are vast in their scope, with the power of photography never failing to raise awareness and brands giving consumers platforms to help the environment themselves.

Photography has long been a medium that exposed the many horrific conditions that people around the world have to endure, and the photographer Johnny Miller captured some of the most revealing and poignant imagery of this year. Miller took drone photos of some of South Africa's landscapes, revealing the stark divide between the wealthy and the poor in the country – which is a divide that exists in racial terms as well. With nothing but a series of photos, the photographer was able to capture what political commentators, South African civilians and theorists all conclude – that despite the technical end of apartheid, inequality in the country remains extremely and depressingly high.
