Marketing in Fashion & Luxury: Where Heritage Meets the New Consumer

Grounded in the timeless codes of fashion and luxury, this masterclass shows how heritage, creativity, and desirability intersect with digital culture and new consumer expectations. Participants will explore classic frameworks, then discuss how emerging designers, luxury startups, and cult labels are redefining brand equity and customer engagement.  

The class will be followed by a conversation with IE alumni working in the fashion and luxury space. Participants are then welcome to join us for a networking cocktail.
