## Resource

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment reacts to Target's decision to name fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi as its first-ever Creative Director at Large, a brand new role in which Mizrahi will advise on product design, mentor Target designers, and help the retailer reclaim its iconic cheap chic identity. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn aren't exactly wowed. While they agree that creativity never hurts, both question whether a lack of design vision is actually what's holding Target back right now or whether the real issues are operational, from store execution to service to merchandising. Chris draws on his Target background to push back on the nostalgia play, invoking the legendary Missoni sellout as a reminder that you can't go back to the well and expect the same magic twice. They also wonder aloud where Mizrahi's influence will begin and end across a portfolio this broad and whether this headline is more about buzz than genuine strategic direction. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q
