The WWD CEO Summit to Focus on Movers + Makers

The Movers + Makers are preparing to gather in Manhattan for the annual WWD Apparel & Retail CEO Summit at the InterContinental New York Barclay hotel Oct. 29 and 30. This year’s theme, Movers + Makers, highlights the people who are powering the fashion business through a continuing whirlwind of change. And while almost everything could change between now and October, some constants can be expected to remain. Generation Alpha will still loom as the next big consumer base. Technological reinvention will have everyone on high alert. Sustainability will be a goal still in the industry’s future. And the geopolitics of the moment will remain confounding to brands with global ambitions. To parse what it all means — from designer to streetwear to mass — there will be a slate of speakers responsible for some of fashion’s largest and most influential businesses. Among the chief executive officers taking the stage to help unpack the future will be: Manny Chirico, PVH Corp. Marc Lore, Walmart e-commerce U.S. Patrice Louvet, Ralph Lauren Corp. Alessandro Bogliolo, Tiffany & Co. Calvin McDonald, Lululemon Athletica Inc. Helena Foulkes, Hudson’s Bay Co. Art Peck, Gap Inc. Silvio Campara, Golden Goose John McPheters, co-ceo Stadium Goods Also weighing in from the executive suite will be Jamie Nordstrom, president of stores
