Our VP of Categories & Expansion Armand Wilson chats with Modern Retail's Julia Waldow about Virtual ThriftCon (happening this weekend on Whatnot!) and how we've grown and expanded our categories. "In 2023, Whatnot’s sales of women’s fashion grew 5x in terms of gross merchandise value, per the company. Vintage, in particular, has become “a lot bigger than it was two and a half years ago,” Wilson said. Sneakers are also popular among shoppers and are now the biggest category within fashion on Whatnot." #socialcommerce #livestreamshopping
