This year's International Herald Tribune conference is entitled Sustainable Luxury and will focus on three key areas: How to sustain brands in an increasingly crowded market, how to sustain profitability in a challenging economic environment and how to sustain environmental performance throughout the supply chain. Conference topics include "slow fashion," the power of "green," craftsmanship in India and strategies for international companies doing business in India. The IHT's fashion editor and conference chair, Suzy Menkes, said: "India is a unique market place for luxury. Its heritage and culture of exceptional objects goes back in an unbroken line to the Moghul era. Yet at the same time, modern India brings a feisty, entrepreneurial spirit both to creating and selling fine goods. Although often 'packaged' as one of the BRIC BRIC Brazil, Russia, India and China (world affairs) BRIC Brooklyn Information & Culture BRIC Biological Research Information Center (Korea) BRIC Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - the subcontinent has an individual spirit.
