Pleasure to be at Besummit Blue Economy Summit 2020 Genova Italy

It was work as usual with a flurry of emails, barrage of calls from team members and a bit of silence in between. It was the 4th of June, sharp 12pm; in the midst of this golden silence that I got a call literally 'out of the blue' from the organizer of The Blue Economic Summit Genova, 2020, Italy asking me about my organization – Luxury Abode.

As the head of marketing & sales at LuxuryAbode.com, it is usual for me to get calls from luxury brands and clients. However what pleased me thoroughly was the fact that the person with the graceful voice on the other end; Ms. Zyuganov, was genuinely intrigued by our business model and vision of expansion.

She invited me to be a part of this prestigious Besummit and meet some of the true legendary connoisseurs and entrepreneurs of the global luxury industry.

I spoke to my CEO right away and we both unanimously agreed to be a part of this prestigious event.

As the head of marketing and sales; for me, representing Luxury Abode at an August summit like this would surely be one of the biggest milestones in my luxury career. I was thrilled.

On the 8th of June, as it drizzled beautifully in Milan, Italy I made my way to Genoa (Genova) through the mesmerizing train journey that got further enjoyable due to the pleasant weather.

Although the train journey is a long one, time seemed to whizz through quiet briskly and there I was at the venue of The Blue Economic Summit, Genova on time.

Of course being the year that it is; upon reaching the venue I was examined for Covid symptoms like all other guests to ensure a safe, mask-free seminar. Thankfully all guests including me were able to get in without any hitch and participate in the day's proceedings.

One thing that immediately caught my senses was the charming ambience that the entire venue exuded. The decor had been done gracefully spelling true luxury and was befitting of the grand occasion indeed. The courteous hospitality of the hosts surely accentuated the grand experience further.

It was now time for the most important segment of the event; meeting the acclaimed folks from the world of luxury. Starting with the brilliant Mr. Pier Paolo (Creative director of Valentino), I also had the privilege of meeting the endearing Ms. Miuccia Prada (Prada Group) with whom I had an insightful chat about luxury in general.

As a student of luxury and as a luxury professional, meeting the likes of Mr. Jeremy Scott (Designer for Moschino), Mr. Florine Eppe (Editor in chief, Luxe Digital) and Mr. Marco Valle (CEO of Azimut Yachts) was pure gold. All of these personalities represent the pinnacle of luxury in their own way and the interactions with them were priceless.

The focus of this edition of The Blue Economic Summit Genoa, Italy was ‘sustainable fashion’ and how E-commerce could play a huge part in it. As the Head of Marketing and Sales for LuxuryAbode.com, I soaked up all the information. During the interactive session I had the opportunity to share my opinions about sustainable fashion, amidst some of the powerhouses of the global Luxury industry.  The contemplative interactions about sustainable luxury definitely assured me that global luxury is progressing in the right direction.

Come lunchtime I had the further pleasure of meeting Mr. Imran Amed (CEO, Founder and Editor in Chief of BOF) who is considered one of the global fashion industry's leading writers, thinkers and commentators.  It was a great experience to share thoughts about the world of fashion with him. It was equally pleasurable to share with him the basic fundamental of Luxury Abode of celebrating the entire global community of fashion and luxury in all aspects.

All in all The Blue Economic Summit Genoa 2020 was a thoroughly enriching experience that has further enhanced my own perspectives, and understanding of the fashion & luxury industry. ‘Sustainable’ is undoubtedly the way forward for the fashion, luxury and the world in general. I am glad that our company Luxury Abode is committed to the world of sustainable luxury and it was a pleasure for me to present LuxuryAbode.com in the right light at The Blue Economic Summit Genova 2020.

On behalf of our entire team at Luxury Abode, I wish to thank the organizers of The Blue Economic Summit Genova 2020 for putting together a great event for the right cause. LuxuryAbode looks forward to a more productive discussion next year at GES-2021! Alla prossima!
