What’s driving growth in online fashion resale? – Fashion resale surged during the pandemic under a unique set of circumstances. With people stuck at home during lockdowns, the need for office wear and dressy attire vanished overnight, sparking a wave of closet cleanouts. For some, financial uncertainty made selling unused apparel a necessity, while buyers sought out unique finds and deals by shopping secondhand. Fashion resale also benefited from the unprecedented gains in ecommerce across the board during this period.


These shifts coincided with younger consumers emerging as a major force in fashion retail. Resale benefits from Gen Z’s commitment to sustainable consumption, its love of thrifting, and throwback fashion trends such as Y2K, which has brought looks from the 1990s and early 2000s back into style.

Spotify posts their “Platform Rules” and approach to COVID-19 – Founder Daniel Ek wrote, in part –

“You’ve had a lot of questions over the last few days about our platform policies and the lines we have drawn between what is acceptable and what is not. We have had rules in place for many years but admittedly, we haven’t been transparent around the policies that guide our content more broadly. This, in turn, led to questions around their application to serious issues including COVID-19.

Based on the feedback over the last several weeks, it’s become clear to me that we have an obligation to do more to provide balance and access to widely-accepted information from the medical and scientific communities guiding us through this unprecedented time.”

The “Platform Rules” are posted in the Spotify Newsroom.
