Mercedes-Benz Fashion Days Kiev: Fashion Industry Forum
I spoke—alongside Sissi Johnson from the Huffington Post—at the 3rd International Kiev Fashion Industry Forum in 2015 focusing on how fashion brands create their own digital communities. The forum was held as part of the 12th season of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Days Kiev. A platform for discussion and dialogue on Ukrainian fashion, the forum topics spanned design, production, retail, marketing and digital media.
The forum presented an opportunity for attendees to network and engage with leading industry figures. Fashion professionals including Sissi Johnson of the Huffington Post, Kazbek Bektursunov of LMG Group and Daria Sorokina of STYLEBOP.COM presented keynote speeches and business cases.
