Stellar leathergoods line-up for luxury summit
03/02/2014
Described by the FT as “the premium thought-leadership gathering for senior luxury executives”, the event will focus on the future of the luxury goods sector with “value systems that make the difference” among the themes.
There ought to be broad agreement on value systems among several of the high-profile speakers who are already confirmed as taking part. These include a number of chief executives of luxury leathergoods brands, such as Jean Cassegrain of Longchamp and Marco Bizzarri of Bottega Veneta, as well as high-end footwear designer Christian Louboutin.
However, also on the speaker-list will be fashion designer Stella McCartney, who makes no secret of her preference for plastics and other synthetic materials over leather.
