Why it is not worth stocking a store with single items of particular products

The intention of retailers is to offer customers many different models, in a very wide range of sizes, in rich color schemes. This, however, means many products, and thus offering one piece of a product, understood as model-color-size.

Where is the compromise between the optimal breadth and depth of the collection

Such a compromise should be found for a given product, but also for a given store, so as to reflect the individual character of the local market. This is a huge challenge for retailers who offer their products in multiple locations, markets and diverse sales channels.

Why fashion industry representatives responsible for demand planning and collection allocation should work like airplane pilots
