If you want to talk about luxury menswear retail, Thomas Ott is one of if not the best people to talk to. Spending near 25 years at Saks Fifth Avenue as the SVP GMM of Menswear and then as the Chief Merchant of Saks Off Fifth, Tom has weathered the ups and downs of luxury retail so I wanted to hear his thoughts on the changing state of luxury menswear in today's environment.

In this discussion we cover:
- Why small retailers and brands are positioned for success
- Strategies retailers can take to come out on top during and post-pandemic
- How luxury sales associates can think creatively working from home or with decreased foot traffic

Tom is now the Chief at his consulting firm Retail and Fashion Solutions - https://www.retailandfashionsolutions.com/

Later this month they will launch their own E-Commerce store Retail Czar - https://retailczar.com/
