  • Hi, Gabriela,

  • how are you using your voice to promote sustainability?

  • Most importantly is not only to "talk about-ing," it's the "do-ing."

  • Or what I think is one of the most disruptive concepts

  • is actually that sustainability, sustainable practises,

  • is a good business choice.

  • Hi, Marie-Claire,

  • can we disrupt the luxury industry with hedonistic sustainability?

  • Sustainability doesn't need to be a constraint.

  • It can be both disruptive and the new normal.

  • Hi, Nick.

  • Have you seen an increase in investment for technologies that drive sustainability?

  • Yes.

  • In particular, we've seen entrepreneurs

  • that are building product businesses within the apparel space

  • have a real focus on the sustainability of the goods that they ultimately sell to their consumers.

  • Hi, Alex.

  • my question for you is, do you think

  • brands should cater themselves to the millennial consumer?

  • Actually, no.

  • Because I find that it's very dangerous for brands to target one specific demographic,

  • as if you do that,

  • you kind of alienate the rest of the consumer demographic

  • being the Generation X or the Generation Z

  • or the ones coming after.

  • So in my opinion, it's very dangerous for brands to really stamp millennial, millennial, millennial everywhere.

  • Hi, Giovanna,

  • what do you think the future will look like for influencers?

  • So like anything in fashion, the market is saturated

  • and only the strongest will survive.

  • Hi, Cedric,

  • as a brand, you're really disruptive.

  • How will you keep moving forward?

  • We keep moving forward simply because moving forward

  • is part of our DNA.

  • It's part of our mission.

  • Balenciaga as a brand has always been

  • at the forefront of fashion, being innovative,

  • being directional,

  • and this is simply what we are about.

  • Paul, I have a question for you:

  • How does an established luxury brand still

  • disrupt in the market today?

  • With a brand like Salvatore Ferragamo,

  • it's less about mega disruption and more

  • about an evolution of the certain codes that still feel valid today.

  • It's just about reworking them in a different concoction.

  • Katharine, you have been disrupting for so many decades.

  • I'm just really interested to know what

  • you're disrupting right now.

  • Cancel Brexit, for Christ's sake.

  • 91% for the British clothing industry is opposed to Brexit.

  • So can you give me one good economic reason

  • why we should go ahead with it?

Hi, Gabriela,
