The graduating students in the Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing and Management master’s program—the beauty industry’s think tank—unveil their research findings and predictions for the year 2030. The students partnered with The Boston Consulting Group to conduct original quantitative research in three key areas: New Luxury Consumer Values, New Epicenters of Luxury, and New Luxury Platforms. The event defines a new mindset for the luxury consumer and offers a roadmap to expand global opportunities to grow this category in both mature and emerging markets. The Future of Luxury, at FIT on June 3, is sponsored by LVMH and BCG.
