| How the path for women to the C-suite of luxury brands is still paved with challenges | 30 May 2024 | 00:25:00 | |
Luxury fashion has long been made for women – and run by men. Women make up the majority of the front-facing luxury retail workforce, they are the editors we see front row at fashion weeks and it’s female spend that accounts for more than two-thirds of clothing sales worldwide. Yet women seldom get a seat in the boardroom, as men continue to occupy the greater share of the global luxury fashion industry’s top positions. While there is a new cadre of female CEOs at luxury brands who are shaking up the industry at the upper echelons, there's a long way to go. On the newest Luxury Stance podcast, Mickey and Scott discuss how the glass ceiling in luxury isn't just a metaphor, it's a reality. They talk about the companies that are making progress and what it's going to take for the narrative to shift at a faster pace. Mickey also takes a deep dive into the Luxury Women's Leadership Summit on June 13th, including the key themes of each session and the insights that delegates will gain from listening to the wide range of luxury leaders throughout the day.

| Why first-quarter earnings results offer clues to luxury brands' strengths and weaknesses | 06 May 2024 | 00:26:34 | |
European luxury conglomerates serve as bellwethers for the wider industry, and the first-quarter revenue results have provided insight into both the strengths and weaknesses of the sector, shedding light on the preferences and behaviors of luxury consumers worldwide as well as why some brands continue to defy the slowdown gripping the industry. Mickey and Scott discuss a presentation by luxury leader Pauline Brown and how successful brands like Prada, Miu Miu and Hermès understand the power of creating desire and making people 'feel alive' and how Kering's flagship Gucci fell from its rarefied perch by taking its eye off the brand and embracing a singular trend. They also talk about the delicate balance for luxury brands to appeal to both the wealthy and the aspirational consumers and applying the Hermès model to other luxury brands.

| What do ultra-wealthy travelers want out of luxury hospitality? | 26 Feb 2024 | 00:39:43 | |
Luxury hospitality is booming and well-heeled travelers have been returning to the road. With ultra-luxury hotel brands like Aman and Bulgari Hotels catering to the upper echelons of global wealth, it has become an arms race for who can deliver extraordinary experiences to keep this rarefied audience engaged and loyal. Mickey and Scott discuss how these luxury hospitality players are busier than ever chasing ultra-wealthy travelers with exclusive experiences and creating a quality-of-service culture that delivers beyond already high standards. They two also talk about how the boundaries between high-end fashion and luxury hospitality continue to fade, as more hotels are nurturing links with established luxury fashion houses. Brands like Fendi, Valentino, Dior and others are strengthening their luxury brand status by extraordinary partnerships with five-star properties.

| How the luxury giants will grow in 2024: Organically or via M&A? | 23 Jan 2024 | 00:41:28 | |
LVMH, Kering, Richemont, Puig, Swatch Group, Tapestry and Chalhoub Group look to grow their companies through acquisitions or brand mergers. Also under discussion will be the growth strategy of major independents such as Hermès, Giorgio Armani, Brunello Cucinelli and Prada. A major possibility is the shake-up in the luxury retail world, especially with department store chains in the United States as they navigate rapidly changing consumer shopping behavior and increased monobrand-store presence by luxury brands. The goal of such M&A activity among luxury brands and retailers is obviously to scale and expand their capabilities. But this year, it may also be a lifeline for some. In the latest episode of The Luxury Stance Podcast, Luxury Roundtable CEO Mickey ALAM KHAN and Silvertone Consulting CEO Scott Kerr discuss the possible luxury goods M&A transactions that could happen this year and the new capabilities that mean the most to luxury dealmakers.
