Summer is a time to slow down, catch your breath, and enjoy the moment. In this spirit, the Fashion Strategy Weekly (FSW) team has been working behind the scenes to create a new short summer podcast series, FSW Conversations en Été. This limited-run series is packaged so you can watch or listen to the episodes on the plane to your next summer getaway or while sitting around on your favorite lawn chair.
FSW Conversations en Été brings together fashion and luxury leaders, creatives, and makers to discuss practical, strategic, and research-based insights to help you, our listeners, keep on top of our fast-moving sector.
Some highlights of this upcoming short season include:
We chat with Mario Lang, a global technology and supply chain leader with over 20 years of experience driving digital transformation and innovation for iconic brands like Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Tom Ford, and Balmain Beauty. Known for aligning cutting-edge tech with business strategy, Mario has led global initiatives that enhance customer experiences, optimize value chains, and future-proof operations across retail, marketing, and e-commerce.
We speak with Suad Fakih, who writes about the future of luxury, particularly where capital, culture, tech, and consumer behavior collide. Her newsletter, Suad’s Gems, spotlights the founders and investors who are reshaping the fashion, beauty, and wellness industries. She leads the Venture Success Committee at Marula Square and advises brands on growth and investment strategies. Previously, she has been a successful founder, commodities trader, and advisor to VCs, family officers, and founders.
We talk with Laura Lanteri, strategist, creative director, and filmmaker with nearly 20 years of experience in fashion, luxury, and tech. She has led campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Hermès, and runs her own agency. She teaches at Parsons and is currently directing a documentary exploring beauty, capitalism, and freedom of expression in America, using film to challenge and reshape harmful narratives in fashion and culture.
Finally, we chat with Jacques Roizen, who leads DLG (Digital Luxury Group)'s research and consulting business and helps brands elevate their digital strategies and digital operations in China.
