In a few years, you won’t pop into a Ralph Lauren store to see the hottest new looks. Instead, you’ll visit with an idea in your head for your dream outfit and an expert will help you turn that vision into reality.

At least that’s the future that David Lauren, chief innovation officer, is working to achieve. Lauren has always been ahead of the curve, bringing us digital fashion shows and shoppable screens in store, inspired by Minority Report. Now, he’s betting big that customized, on-demand clothing is what consumers really want. Are you ready for it? Read more here.

The great meat hack: What you need to know​​​​​​
Several weeks ago hackers attacked America’s critical gas infrastructure. This week hackers attacked the company’s food production facilities. Who knows what’s next on the list?
In the new attack, hackers targeted the information systems of Brazilian meat processing giant JBS. Based in Brazil, JBS is one of the world’s most prominent meat processors and has operations in Canada, America, and Australia. Operations in those nations that were impacted by the attack.
Certain transactions with customers and suppliers could now be delayed. 
While there is no sign that this cyberattack will severely hamper America’s meat supply, it is a worrying sign that hackers seem to be choosing to attack critical infrastructures and operations.
