The concept for the 2016 edition was the ‘Future of Luxury’, and held in Seoul, South Korea, the theme reflected important facets of Korean society including a focus on technology’s role in the luxury sector.
The conference draws on the collective influence of Condé Nast International’s publications, and the vision and knowledge of the world’s most renowned fashion journalists, said Suzy Menkes, International Vogue Editor.
Menkes said Oman was chosen as the destination for 2017 due to its position at the nexus of global trade, offering a unique perspective that encompasses India to the Far East, Europe to Arabia.
Some of the speakers at the conference include Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oman, Beauty blogger Huda Kattan, Fashion designer Elie Saab, Hollywood director James Lima, and Jimmy Choo CEO Pierre Denis, Co-Guardian of Mouawad Group Pascal Mouawad.
