Andy Rueben, Founder and Executive Director of Trove, and Scott Hessell from the University of Arizona chat about retailing in the era of the Internet. Retailing continues to change dramatically with each generation, and consumers now have very different expectations than even 10 years ago.

Andy and Scott also discuss the importance of sustainability in fashion and how consumer behavior and preferences have driven retailers to focus more on reselling and upcycling.
