(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, incoming Canali creative director Alessio Lillocci's plan centers on expanding the brand's leisurewear offering to attract younger customers, a departure from the brand's core suiting identity.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your core customer base is aging out, do not try to convince the young buyer to want what your old customer wants. Build a parallel category inside your brand that lives where they are. For Canali, that is leisurewear. For a heritage brand, the move is to staff the new category with a young designer and give them 18 months to prove it without defending your core margin. The new category does not have to be big — it has to reach people your core product does not.\nWhat that means for you: Every heritage brand eventually faces the math: your customer is getting older. Most try to 'get younger' by making their core product younger. That fails because you alienate the buyer who has loyalty and cannot build the new buyer's trust fast enough. Canali is doing the smarter move — keep the core, add a new category, and let the young buyer own that world. If you have a brand with an aging audience, do not make the brand young. Make a young category inside the brand.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/fashion/luxury/luxury-briefing-canali-is-betting-on-leisurewear-to-lure-younger-customers/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
