The fashion and lifestyle industry enable a form of wordless communication - hardly any industry is more expressive and present. Exclusivity and prestige are among the core values of the luxury industry, which covers not only the pure fashion sector but also watches, jewelry and accessories. These are constantly changing highly dynamic industries that are influenced by cultural, social and economic factors. Companies must adapt accordingly and offer innovative solutions. In a world where there is only one constant -change - companies must always be one step ahead to understand and meet the values and mindsets of consumers. While in the past years it was important to set new trends, the industry is now facing a new challenge: trends and new styles have to be reconciled with sustainability and circular value chains. Environmental awareness and sustainable production processes are playing an increasingly important role. Fashion, lifestyle and luxury are not only a form of self-expression, they are also a form of communication and a way of taking a clear stance. For consumers, buying luxury products is not only about the product itself, but also about the opportunity to be inspired by the brand and to become part of a lifestyle or community. The accurate filling of management positions in the fashion, lifestyle and luxury sectors is of great importance, as these industries are fast-moving and highly competitive markets. Leaders are needed who are able to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, think innovatively, and are up-to-date in the areas of digitalization and technology. Other key qualifications are a keen sense of trends, quality and style, as well as dealing with the multi-layered changes that make it necessary to continuously question and adapt the business model.
