Questions for Fashion's Most Powerful Leaders

Send Us Your Questions for Fashion's Most Powerful Leaders - NYTimes.com "On Nov. 15 and 16 in Rome, the IHT’s fashion editor, Suzy Menkes, will convene the good and the great of the fashion and design industries at the annual IHT luxury conference, the confab that brings together hundreds of power brokers and the media who cover the trillion-dollar-a-year global fashion business. The theme of the conference this year is “The Promise of Africa: The Power of the Mediterranean.” The theme encompasses the aspects of the Mediterranean as a cauldron of creativity where influences and motifs are shared, exchanged, altered and incorporated. But it also seeks to address issues of development, poverty reduction and social responsibility: what fashion, with its well-heeled producers and consumers, owes the world, especially the developing world — and especially Africa, as the continent’s contributions of style, vibrancy and resilience are finally being acknowledged. That’s where you come in. Whether you have a question about fashion style or global development substance, we want to hear from you in the comments below. We’ll be livestreaming three conference sessions on Rendezvous: At about 9:15 CET on Thursday . . . . Join the conversation here and on Twitter using the #IHTLux, and come back on Thursday and Friday to watch our livestreams and comment on Rendezvous, Twitter and Facebook."
