Everything you ever wanted to know about Generation Z…
Half a day is devoted to understanding the impact of this generation on the luxury sector, its companies and its brands, and on finding the keys for reaching out to it.
The brands scrutinize them, covet them, court them… they draft strategies to seduce them, develop creations to please them. “They” are young people aged 16 to 25, decisive to the future of the luxury goods companies, and to whom the experts of the Luxe Pack Trends Observer have this year chosen to dedicate an entire session.
How do they consume? Which brands, and why?
What design codes are they sensitive to?
What relationship do they have with luxury goods? What kind of luxury goods? What they expect from the employer brand?
How do they fit into the economic universe? How do you communicate with them?

Consumers are today more than ever keen to know where the products they are buying come from. For ethical, moral, sometimes health reasons, being capable of tracking back along the production and product distribution chain is a guarantee of quality. Certain food brands have been the first to display total transparency, and luxury is set to follow suit. From the procurement of raw materials to the use of products by customers, the choices of the luxury goods companies have a social and environmental impact that they are today choosing to share, involving the sourcing of materials, their suppliers and every step in the design of their products.

Upcycling is presented as an alternative to the classic production modes, for an “enhanced” vision of recycling. The objective is not only to reuse spent material, but to give a second life to objects and materials via high-end, quality creations. Today, perfume in its turn is addressing the provision of raw materials deriving from natural waste. Beyond the industrial – and by definition ecological – aspects, we shall be looking at its impact on creation itself, more than ever influenced, guided even, by the material being worked.

Bottling a new scent is one of a designer’s most creative challenges. Expressing the fragrance , its name, the fashion designer or beauty brand behind it is daunting. Coupled with the marketing challenges; the demographics, competition, P&L and focus groups, the designer begins their journey with many issues to deal with. Faced with a blank sheet of paper, they must produce on demand, a flacon that epitomizes all of the above. Our panel of experienced packaging designers will share their experiences, highlight trends and predict the future of this unique art.
This is just a selection of speakers and programs scheduled over this exciting three day event.
Future events:
LUXE PACK LOS ANGELES – February 27-28, 2019, BARKER HANGAR, SANTA MONICA
