The New Business Platform

Each day’s workshops and events were held at exciting locals, such as the Conde’ Nast headquarters to our culminating meetings, which were held at the Movado corporate offices. Prior to the dinner and merit awards on our last evening, we were delighted to hear from guest speaker, legendary fashion designer, Norma Kamali. If you’ve ever attended an FGI Trends event, you’ve heard commentary by Marylou Luther, Editor of the International Fashion Syndicate. Marylou was also in attendance at the

merit awards dinner and was extremely delightful to speak with. Prior to our final meetings of the weekend, we heard from the FGI Rising Stars, via a panel discussion. They included Koray Duman & Laith Sayigh, Loris Diran, Fabiloa Arias and Betty Lou Mascot. We all left the conference inspired and empowered; eager to use what we learned to enhance the presence and reach of FGI in each of our regions.
