Reshaping Luxury
The theme of the ninth edition of Luxury Lab Mexico, “Reshaping Luxury,” refers to the obstacle that brands and companies face today, as in order to survive they must innovate and complement their offer with an approach that’s both sustainable and digital, as well as offering something the market has never seen before.
Some of the world’s top experts and speakers shared their experiences and knowledge, among them, Joel Muñiz, senior partner and managing director for BCG LATAM; Ingrid Bruha, sustainable fashion designer; Fflur Roberts, vice president of Luxury Goods for Euromonitor International; and Edgardo Osorio, founder and director of Aquazzura, among others.
