“Ninety percent of transactions still happen in stores,” José Neves, CEO of Farfetch, told the audience at WIRED Retail. “New stores of the future will still have an element of the physical, but it will be augmented by a range of technologies and services.”
Neves is already living in that future, using farfetch.com to help independent boutiques across the globe serve customers in 150 countries. Farfetch, “a curated centralised and global market place” as he describes it, takes care of the entire experience of shopping.

Angora rabbits are typically kept inside small, filthy, bare cages and face the ordeal of live plucking up to four times a year. During this process, they're physically restrained as workers rip the hair from their sensitive bodies, leaving only the fur on their heads. A PETA exposé of Chinese fur farms revealed the horrifying screams they make while being plucked, a process they'll endure repeatedly for two to three years before ultimately being killed.
