Kesslers International invites Hilary Dart to speak at its 9th Innovation Seminar:

“The Beauty Industry- changing brand, in-store and consumer experiences: How far have we come?”

Kesslers International is delighted that Hilary Dart, whose career has spanned 30 years in the Retail, Fashion and Beauty sectors, will be speaking at our 9th Innovation Seminar on Tuesday 9th March 2010 from 1.30pm at our offices.

Hilary has held a number of senior positions encompassing Buying, Merchandising, general Management and Business and Product Development. Amongst her many and varied roles, she has been Head of Beauty at Selfridges  and President of Calvin Klein Worldwide. Since 2004, she has been running her own business Hilary Dart Associates which advises a number of companies and brands on business strategy, product, retail and brand development. Her client list includes Jaeger, Champneys, World Duty Free, Ben Sherman and Ultimo.

Hilary’s presentation will explore how much the beauty industry has changed over the past two decades and how brands and retailers have really “pushed the envelope” in terms of product innovation, the in-store experience and consumer communication.

Her talk will provide lessons for all brands on how to understand consumer-led retailing principles at the cutting edge.
