Speakers including Bruce Rokovich, Naomi Campbell, and Jack Brown analyze the decade-long pivot of the Asian economy from manufacturing to wellness-driven consumption, highlighting a massive surge in fitness and premium food markets alongside the strategic revitalization of heritage brands like Kenton Kirwan. The panel identifies Singapore as a governance model and emphasizes digital engagement through motorsports and eSports as critical tools for capturing the region's youthful demographic, while noting the urgent need for greater Asian representation in global luxury fashion.
