LAS VEGAS—One of the most expensive retail areas of the world, Manhattan is perennially on the cutting edge of new concepts. And the momentum rarely stops, even in tighter times. But Faith Hope Consolo, chairman of Douglas Elliman's retail group, acknowledges that to stay current in an increasingly e-commerce world, landlords have to play nicely.

In this exclusive video interview from RECon 2016, Consolo explains:

• What she means when she refers to “user-friendly landlords”;
•  In a month marked by less-than-stellar retail numbers, what the implications are for RECon attendees;
• What the hot trends are along Park Avenue;
• How fashion and beauty are a virtual “need,” even when the market softens.
