Agenda

The rise of the eco-conscious consumer

Sustainability is now an expectation from luxury consumers — but the risk of brands being cancelled for greenwashing is high. How do brands need to consider and rethink their production, supply chain and marketing? And how transparent should you really be?

Fashion’s new ecosystem

Asia-Pacific consumers are among the most digitally savvy globally, pivoting and adopting new models and platforms at pace. As the direct-to-consumer approach broadens with new technology and the metaverse, what are the parameters for entering and working in these new spaces where customer acquisition costs are often high, and the luxury experiences are mixed? From Roblox to Decentraland, Instagram, Pinterest and more, expect insights into top-class e-commerce strategies including VIP digital clienteling to NFTs.

The outlook in China for luxury in 2023

China is still facing Covid-19 restrictions, putting pressure on Asia-Pacific neighbours that rely on its tourism. The country also faces slowing economic growth and an election planned for November this year. So, how do you navigate the Chinese market? And how do you reach Chinese consumers today, from the nationalistic Gen Zer to the savvy millennial and the high-net-worth older netizen? Vogue Business will unpack the rising social e-commerce platforms, from Xiaohongshu to streetwear-oriented Dewu; and the economic forecasts and regulatory scrutiny facing brands who operate there.
