### Summary

Vinted's team presents their approach to addressing sizing inconsistencies in their secondhand fashion marketplace, where missing size schemes and incorrect international conversions affected cross-border transactions. Through a case study of men's pant sizes, they examine the variability of global fashion sizing and demonstrate how taxonomy decisions intersect with data modeling, UX design, and content strategy. This talk provides practical insights for IA practitioners on balancing comprehensive solutions with minimum viable products and understanding how taxonomy work influences broader user experience considerations.
