Building a new world: overview of a new era The - Première Vision Paris
The Restart: The opportunities to seize
We’ve rarely experienced a period such as this one, as frightening as it is energizing. While the numbers, from a business point of view, have been hard hit by these troubled times, the pandemic has also served as a totally unprecedented catalyst for change – destroying what was obsolete and amplifying changes already underway – to initiate a new cycle.
A whole new world is taking shape, as attested to by our eight experts, all of whom took part in the recently concluded discussion series proposed by Première Vision. Fashion historians and designers, founders of new brands and presidents of historic houses, all traced the rough outlines of this new era, and addressed the changes involved. And while their discussions touch on digitization, the ecology and market geopolitics, they also evoke renewed expectations and desires.
