Branding for the future, are British luxury brands too British?

New Realities, Bold Strategies. This was the agenda at the prestigious Walpole Luxury Summit 2023. Hosted in The Londoner Leicester Square, the event brought together 300 luxury professionals and global experts.

This summit saw a culturally curious conversation between iconic British photographer Rankin, renowned image-maker, Publisher, Film Director, and Founder of RANKIN CREATIVE, with Katy Wickremesinghe, Founder and Creative Director of The Wick.

Turning the lens onto Rankin – the two discussed his projects and inspiration which have been the brainchild of cultural trends and portraiture for nearly 30 years. The two discussed cultural touch points and how to create behavioural change, the future of image-making and Britishness. Have an insiders perspective here at The Wick.

Last year Katy interviewed Misan Harriman as the cultural key note at the Luxury Summit. You can also watch their ground breaking conversation on luxury businesses building diversity.
