Reimagining Savoir Faire

Wharton Graduate Retail Conference
March 24, 2023

LVMH Tower, 19 E 57th St, New York, NY 10022

Savoir faire has traditionally denoted the craft of luxury. Looking ahead in 2023, we broaden this notion to the craft of building and investing in brands, curating communities and partnerships, activating retail experiences, and reshaping our industry towards sustainability.
