It's meaningful to see @Lovable notice something as simple and human as politeness. As @simonsinek reminds us, "Progress is more important than perfection." Testing in 2025 made me see what's working instead of what is not. In 2026, I want @Lovable to see my impact. #lovable

This shift can empower African and emerging designers by elevating their visibility and making them part of global styling conversations without the heavy tech or marketing costs and I’m excited to see how it evolves.

What are your thoughts? #africanluxury #googleio #GenAI

Google’s AI shopping tool marks a shift from virtual try-ons to intelligent fashion discovery. While AR asks, ‘How does this look on me?’, AI now asks, ‘What should I wear and whose design fits my style and story?

An intriguing read! Luxury must transcend all pages of the customer journey to evoke emotion and build loyalty. Value creation is the first element emerging and leading brands must consistently work on in other to remain relevant. Is not about how cool your marketing is.

@GDruckerForum @M_Heffernan @HerminiaIbarra @CarolKauffman Had this conversation with my husband today. It should be both. However leaders needs to first get the team to understand the vision, mission and the legacy and impact that needs to be made before setting up performance measures in order to get the full corporation of everyone.

There is 168 hours in a week and you can't dedicate just 1 to work on yourself?

There is no such thing as 'I don't have time.' If you truly want something, you will make the time for it.

A very important message to the Govt. of Nigeria. And coming from someone who's well-positioned to advise the country. Okonjo-Iweala laments over the costs of doing business in Nigeria being higher than those of high-income countries https://t.co/lqfxzTyCDL

A recent report by Bain & Company reveals that by 2025 China will have 48% of the global luxury spending. I've been following the Chinese #luxury consumer behaviour since 2014. Is rising at a fast pace. What market is your brand looking to enter?

[Vanessa Friedman @VVFriedman]

Chloé is officially the first high fashion B Corp. Could it be a new trend? (That would be something to see.)

[Kell Ihe, MBA - Advisor | Luxury branding & AI @kellspruce]

@VVFriedman Is absolutely become a trend, more brands old and new are lining up.

[Julie Zerbo @ZerboJulie]

I think it will be interesting to see how marks that arguably imply some type of sustainability, such as (but not limited to) these, will be treated down the road ...

[Julie Zerbo @ZerboJulie]

Hint: B Corp certification is more of a “signal to the market that this is the kind of company they want to be than it is any sort of legal constraint on the business."

The future! When my clients ask me if I think luxury brands can associate with sustainability. This is the reason why sustainability is an important part of my #brandstrategyframework. I wrote a piece about it, find out here https://t.co/qOBLKxAc9r
