Heading to Madrid on July 1st for the launch of a new book Sustainable Luxury and Social Entrepreneurship and the awards for Sustainable Luxury. We can't wait to meet the other Pioneers and collect our copy, we are very proud to have been asked to contribute a chapter to the book!
Last week Kresse was in Madrid, to help launch a book we contributed a chapter for and also, unexpectedly, to receive the IE Award for Sustainability in Luxury. Here she is, among other winners, including Loewe, Soneva and the Danish Fashion Institute. Alexandra Cousteau presented the awards and was a big part of the whole week. Meeting the jury, IE staff, former winners and other Sustainable Luxury Pioneers definitely made us feel that this is a movement going from strength to strength. The venue for the awards was ideal - with recycled cardboard instead of steel as support beams - it was our first introduction to the work of Japanese architect Shigeru Ban.
