``At Le Alfré, we see the menswear industry as more than simply clothing. It's a lifestyle, aesthetic and culture that extends beyond fashion. While it's our responsibility to pay tribute and instill heritage, quality and tradition, it is also our responsibility to challenge the norm and standard ways of thinking, and innovate for the new generations to come. I'm excited to share my unique experiences, success, failures and learnings building a new heritage in the fashion space and provide value to other brands and individuals looking to do the same. Whether through product, design, storytelling, craftsmanship, company culture, mission etc, I believe we all have to leverage our own authenticity and perspective to create something meaningful that people can join and follow.``

I’m excited to share more at the Future of Luxury this year alongside other panelists and leaders.``

``As a story maker who cultivates powerful ideas and important conversations to enrich the lives of others, I am thrilled to collaborate with Issa PR in this think-tank to drive discussions amongst innovators to develop a deeper understanding of the industry.

``From music videos to commercials to talent integrations and branded content today, it is imperative to gain wider insights into how each aspect is developed and then integrated into its final product. As a director and cinematographer, I look forward to speaking about my experience and reflecting on the strategies involved in filmmaking, business and creativity. I am honored to have been selected amongst the esteemed panelists at the Future of Luxury this year.``

``As a young artist, my earliest inspiration came from observing how our creative spirit can bring people together in conversation and understanding. People who may not even have a language in common, can stand together and communicate through their shared interest in creative connection. My greatest interests still exist in the place where disparate or divergent communities can align in collaboration. I'm excited to participate in this thought-provoking discussion about ideas to bring my experience to a place where art, fashion, business, and technology will converge in conversation.``
Pablo Power | Artist
``“As a fashion photographer for the British Fashion Council, London Fashion Week and many brands and organisations, we are seeing the industry evolve quickly as it relates to AI. The industry is in flux and more fragmented than ever, requiring more tenacity and creativity from brands. I will be sharing insights on how to navigate this from a photography and content perspective to adapt to these changes in the market. And the intersection of how storytelling and photography comes into play everyday.``
