The annual one-day conference on 31 March will feature a keynote from Lady Gaga’s costume designer Asher Levine, who will explain the crucial role technology plays in helping him to create his futuristic designs.

The event at the Ham Yard Hotel, which is hosted by Global Legal Post, attracts the leading brands from Kering, Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Prada and LVMH to Ralph Lauren, Tiffany, Farfetch and Michael Kors, and brings together general counsel, in-house teams and business and creative figures.
