AI-assisted platform turns what customers own and wear into insights for luxury brands

NEW YORK, NY, November 13, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Maura today launched its AI-powered lifestyle intelligence platform, giving luxury fashion brands a view into what happens after the sale. Brands can now see what customers own, how they wear it and how their personal style changes over time. Maura also announced Italian luxury houses Lorena Antoniazzi and Henry Beguelin as new customers.
As part of Maura’s launch, Maura and Lorena Antoniazzi will host an invitation-only event on Dec. 3 at Artemest Galleria in New York. Guests will use Maura to explore how pieces from Lorena Antoniazzi’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection work with their own wardrobes, bringing to life how an understanding of what customers already own can create a more personal brand experience.

Luxury brands know a great deal about what their customers buy. But once a piece leaves the store, that knowledge largely stops, leaving brands with a fragmented, incomplete picture of the people they serve. That gap shows up in product decisions, returns and personalization. Up to 40% of fashion inventory goes unsold every year, and in a study of one major UK online retailer, 35% of womenswear returns were attributed to style that does not suit the customer. In all, the gap is estimated to be worth more than $500 billion to the fashion industry.
Maura is creating a new category of consumer-permissioned lifestyle intelligence that gives luxury brands insights beyond the transaction.
The result is a clearer path for brands to deepen relationships, improve cross-category selling, strengthen assortment and sell-through, and reduce avoidable returns.
“Fashion is one of the most personal forms of self-expression, yet the industry remains fragmented across brands, channels and individual transactions,” said Laura Merling, founder and CEO of Maura. “Consumers see one wardrobe, one personal style, their life. We built Maura to bridge that divide, creating a new foundation for personal intelligence that puts the individual at the center of fashion and transforms how consumers and brands connect. In a fragmented market, organization is the new luxury.”
New Customers
For Lorena Antoniazzi, the partnership extends a commitment to transparency that runs through its business. The brand already traces each garment from yarn to finished product using QR codes. Its partnership with Maura carries that story past production and into the life each garment leads once it reaches the customer.
“We believe in exploring new ideas where traditional craftsmanship meets modern technology,” said Andrea Mirabassi, chief merchandising officer of Lorena Antoniazzi. “Our collaboration with Maura reflects this vision, embracing innovation while celebrating the timeless values of fashion.”
For Henry Beguelin, the partnership with Maura reflects a desire to deepen its understanding of its loyal customer base, combining its inherently personal service with a greater understanding of a customer’s individual lifestyles and preferences.
“Henry Beguelin has a strong heritage with a loyal community of customers, many of whom have been collecting our pieces for decades,” said Patrick Nebiolo, CEO and co-owner of Henry Beguelin. “These relationships are incredibly important to us, and by understanding more about how our customers live with and enjoy our collections, we hope to offer a more thoughtful, personal and relevant service that reflects the individuality of each of them. Our partnership with Maura is an exciting step towards achieving this.”
