How did VM Consulting capture the UFI's attention? Exhibitions are the meeting point between regions and companies. It is crucial to create reasons for companies to attend in the era of experience economy.

It is a long-standing tradition of Italian craftsmanship, skilled hands, and attentive eyes. Creative minds that lead to excellence, with tradition blending with technology. In the stunning backdrop of the mountains surrounding Longarone, there is an aspiration that drives us to do better every day, a sense of responsibility that leads us to grow constantly, respecting the environment and our people. A way of seeing the world around us from different, sometimes unexpected, perspectives. It is a #BoundlessVision Introducing the new Marcolin Corporate Video. #Marcolin #BoundlessVision

Giny Boer (she/her), CEO of C&A Europe; Board Member of Fashion for Good; Board Member of BrewDog said, One of my favorite exchange formats at C&A: the “Ask Us Anything” sessions. I mean it, literally anything. And we keep it simple. No #agenda, no #moderator, no #fancy slides. Only questions and answers. Because it is so informal, there is always a special vibe to these meetings that allow for more #casual conversations. Betty Kieß, Passionate CCO of C&A Europe; Jason Morgan, CCO, C&A Europe; Birgit Kretschmer, Chief Financial Officer, Member of the Management Board C&A Europe;; and Jan-Tjitte Meindersma, Chief Transformation Officer & Restructuring Executive; C&A; joined me in the past months to hear what our co-workers would like to know and have a chat. To give you an idea of what our colleagues are curious about, here are some of the questions that #Birgit and I answered in our latest session: - 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳 C&A'𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩? The quality, affordability, and sustainability of #our_products – this is and #remains in #our_DNA. - 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 #𝘊𝘌𝘖𝘴? Yes, definitely! I am in close contact with #COFRA Holding AG fellow #CEOs and in a network for #CEOs_worldwide. - 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 #𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 #𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 #𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯? Yes, it will have an impact and of course we need to work on having the right #clothes, in the #right_place at the #right_time. - 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥? It is ‘The End of the World Is Just the Beginning’ by Peter Zeihan and I really recommend reading it! There was one question I did not have a final answer for: “If you could talk to anyone in the #world, who would it be?” What would your answer be on this? 👉https://lnkd.in/gTHhTHhz 👉https://lnkd.in/gT3gZJ7g 👉https://lnkd.in/g_GNqZ-B 👉https://lnkd.in/gyJriEfc 👉https://lnkd.in/gEfGcVQn 👉https://lnkd.in/g5EbhZcH #alif #Clemens_and_August #CEOs #Leadership #Exchange

From the Diamond Foundry website the emphasis of DF seems to be more focused on scientific applications. Therefore I find is a bit surprising that the plan is to increase VRAI showrooms from 8 to 50 in the U.S. market. I do not know what the bottom line contribution Vrai brings to the DF. I understand DF also sells CVD roughs out of Dubai. My guess is that Vrai will not be a significant contributor to the DF bottom line but selling of roughs may be more important. This is all guesswork but hopefully their masterplan will be more obvious over time. Being based in Hong Kong, of course I would be interested in whether Vrai will expand their footprint in Asia. I remain convinced that Hong Kong can be a very effective geographical location as a LGD diamond trading and diamond jewellery trading centre to serve the emerging LGD retail market in South East Asia and the U.S. Sadly, LGD is not exactly well accepted in the mainstream jewellery establishment in Hong Kong even though more and more India traders are offering both type of goods. Definitely worth a look. If HK was good for mined why not LGD ?

90 years ago two brothers started a family business. The CANALI company was born. Today the 3rd generation Stefano Canali is running the company. I did listen to a short interview Monocle did where Stefano to talk about the company values and long term sustainability. How important physical stores are to create the full experience of the brand and that they see the online store as a effective compliment for luxury brands. Clear principals are Respect and Responsibility. All must act the same way. How important it is for a company to innovate but still stay to its values.

Did you know that merch is not just merch? Quality is a big factor in the need for merchandise to carry your brand to your customer, and although we have mixed uses and needs for cheaper items at exhibitions we still need them to not fall apart before they leave the show. It has always been a real challenge to know the quality of an item but with the internet showing pictures and videos its easier than ever to get caught out. This is why we will always sample our suggestions or if you are in a rush work from our known product base, we always keep up to date with the latest trends and regularly collect samples of items so we can feel confident in what we share with our customers. As always just call us for more information and we can tailor a specific request or need and help you with your next branded business gift. www.othello4.co.uk #brandedgift #merchandise #othello4

UNITING FASHION, INNOVATION AND PURPOSE I’ve been a member of The Fashioneering Lab for several years and thrilled for our recent exhibition.
