Couture Show Unveils Education Series CoutureTalks

The 2019 edition of the Couture show will see the introduction of CoutureTalks, a curated education series covering a variety of subjects that are relevant to the jewelry community. Taking place at the show during breakfasts and lunches at the Wynn Las Vegas, these sessions will focus on of-the-moment topics such as ethical and environmental sustainability, lab grown and mined diamonds, and trend forecasting. “We wanted to be extremely thoughtful and strategic about rolling out this type of initiative,” Brousseau explained. “We needed to ensure that the subjects we’re focusing on are relevant to our community, and that the speakers and presentations approach these conversations in a unique way that speaks specifically to our audience; we’re confident that the curated programs we’re implementing are aligned with these goals.” On Friday morning, the series will kick off with a discourse on the benefits of lab grown and mined diamonds. Moderated by GIA’s Cathryn Ramirez, the panelists include Sally Morrison from Light Box, Rachel Aaron from Canada Mark, Laura Freedman from Broken English and designer Stephen Webster. On Friday afternoon, Paola De Luca from Trendvision will lead a presentation on the effects of the digital era and globalization on emerging phenomena, digital culture and design
