Mimma Viglezio will be joined by Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy — the duo behind BOTTER and creative directors of G-STAR — for a conversation on the challenging decisions around funding and financing a fashion brand. Together, they will explore the delicate balance between staying true to your creative vision and securing the right support. The discussion will also explore the importance of collaborating strategically through meaningful partnerships that strengthen both creative and business impact.
