One of the perks of living, traveling and shopping in some of the world’s most fascinating cities is that I am privy to style and luxury trends in the making – be they on the streets of Paris or downtown New York City.
The definition of luxury and style is rapidly changing thanks to the influence of the internet, global markets and travel – keeping up with this can be daunting. Whether luxury, style, and trends is your industry or personal fascination, I invite you to an exciting event I am hosting on May 8th from 7-9 pm at The Core Club in New York City. To join me in conversation about the Future of the Luxury Economy I have invited premiere experts who successfully chart the course of marketing and selling global luxury in the fields of media, fashion, health, wellness, and travel.
My guests will include:
Marc Hruschka – With over 17 years experience in the luxury goods industry, Marc Hruschka joined luxury watch and jewelry house Chopard in 2006 as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hruschka oversees and guides all wholesale and retail operations for Chopard in the United States.
Oz Garcia, Ph.D. – Recognized as the world’s leading authority in anti-aging and progressive nutrition, is also the best selling author of The Balance and Look and Feel Fabulous Forever. Dubbed the Nutritionist to the Stars, Oz provides anti-aging and nutritional guidance to some of the highest-ranking Fortune 500 CEOs as well as many of film, television and fashion’s elite A-list.
