Speakers of Heritage & Design will discuss the power of design to transform traditional business models, and with a rich legacy of businesses that have been passed down through generations, to apply design thinking to revitalise and continue to grow their own enterprises. Anchored by a string of leading creative minds whose works built on family or cultural legacy, including master luthier Lapo Vettori , a third-generation luthier and the youngest member of the Commission of Professional Italian Violin Makers, and Giulio Vinaccia , a prolific product designer for leading Italian brands and a globally recognised expert in social design who now works full-time for UNIDO and other UN agencies. Also Jacopo Foggini (Galleria Jacopo Foggini), an artist who discovered the versatile nature of methacrylate and invented a machine to melt it and hand-mould it into luminous, large-scale artworks.

Apart from heritage, fashion also meets lots of challenges. Conceived with a holistic approach that embraces the entire fashion ecosystem, the “Fashion Challenges” Forum brings together brand executives, designers, conscious entrepreneurs, image makers, merchandisers, buyers, marketers, strategists and creative leaders from various fields to provide actionable insights and innovative ideas for businesses as they navigate fashion’s ever-changing landscape.
