At the end of the day, the ability to create compelling consumer experiences online will define the success of fashion brands for years to come. Who gets it?

E-COMMERCE AND DIRECT MARKETING RE-INVENT THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
Edward Kummer, Senior Vice President, Global eCommerce, Luxottica
While the Internet has empowered consumers to talk about their favorite brands, it has also enabled them to put their money where there mouth is. According to eMarketer, consumers will spend over $41 billion on fashion online this year! From bras and belts to shirts and shoes, there is virtually nothing that you can’t buy online and have delivered directly to your home. eCommerce companies seem to be popping up over night, to fill every niche, while established brands, retailers, and designers court consumers as well. Flash sales are now a part of our culture and brands are targeting all of us with personalized offers. The digital transformation of the fashion industry is no more apparent anywhere than on the impact that eCommerce is having on the shopping experience, and the bottom line for both e-tailers and retailers. Learn how to ring up big sales online from our panel of experts.

KEYNOTE — LEVERAGING THE SOCIAL SPHERE Charlie Cole, CEO, The Line
Leveraging the social sphere comes easy for some brands in the fashion space – brands that are approachable and who can offer discounts in a way that is not brand damaging have done great with it. However, for other brands – the definition of fashion is being on the leading edge… dictating… and there is nothing LESS social than being told what to do. But for the brands that want to be seen as the ones owning the conversation, how can an effective social strategy be achieved? In this session, Charlie Cole, CEO of The Line, debates the merits of various social strategies across the fashion world – from fast fashion to luxury.
