As I was working in the fashion industry, it was important for me to acquire a better understanding the value chain in the luxury sector, as a whole. The Academic Coordinator of the program, Jean-Noel Kapferer is a true thought leader in the luxury industry - particularly in branding. This motivated my application for the Major in Luxury.
