A stimulating conversation with style experts for insights on changes to lifestyle choices, what has emerged & what are we moving towards.
About this Event
Much has changed in the lifestyle of people since the pandemic. The behavioural shift has not only been in their focus for a healthy lifestyle and balance between work and personal life but also places they travel to, what they want to be surrounded with and preferences of what they wear. With the reopening and freedom to socialize being back, many are rediscovering the joys of being out in a crowd and dressing up again.
Life in Style will bring together experts who have a pulse on all the different lifestyles that people lead now and what that means for personal wardrobe and shopping preferences.
