Over the last decade, collaborations between luxury brands and contemporary artists have gone beyond mere artistic partnerships towards a new kind of luxury branding.
PARIS – Art and fashion have always developed side by side, for fashion, like art, often gives visual expression to the cultural zeitgeist. During the 1920s, Salvador Dalí created dresses for Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiapparelli. In the 1930s, Ferragamo’s shoes commissioned designs for advertisements from Futurist painter Lucio Venna, while Gianni Versace commissioned works from artists such as Alighiero Boetti and Roy Lichtenstein for the launch of his collections. Yves Saint Laurent’s vast art collection, recently auctioned at Christie’s in Paris, testified to his great love of art and revealed the influence of a variety of artists on his own designs.
In the 1980s, relationships between luxury brands and artists were advanced when Alain Dominique Perrin created the Fondation Cartier. In the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain, a book marking the foundation’s 20th anniversary, Perrin says he makes “a connection between all the different sorts of arts, and luxury goods are a kind of art. Luxury goods are handicrafts of art, applied art.”

Following the success of our inaugural Luxury Society Keynote in London, we are delighted to share full details of our second event in New York City, again in partnership with Bloomberg.
Our first event in the United States will take place on Tuesday October 15, 2013, and will define wealth segments beyond popular buzzwords and examine the role the UHNWIs play in the consumption of luxury goods.
We understand that the time of luxury brand executives is precious, therefore we have put together a succinct afternoon program addressing specific questions, to allow attendees to leave with concrete strategies to apply to their operations.
In a bid to make the event valuable and engaging for delegates, the afternoon will mix panel sessions with interactive workshops, with keynote addresses from those who know ultra high net worth individuals most intimately.
Our attendance is restricted to luxury brand executives only, engineered to facilitate meaningful networking and business opportunities between a qualified audience. Please email [email protected] to request an invitation.
