In Pursuit of Luxury 2025

Join us on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th June 2025 for an exciting event where we delve into the world of sustainable luxury. Discover the latest trends, innovations, and ethical practices shaping the luxury industry. 

Network with like-minded individuals and industry experts at Ravensbourne University London. 

IPOL 2025 will provide a platform to redefine what luxury truly means in the modern era. 

• Is luxury inherently dishonest and incompatible with ethical values?
• Or can it be reimagined as a force for positive change that uplifts communities, respects the planet, and epitomises authenticity? 

Honest luxury immediately calls into question contemporary markers of luxury and whether current practices around materials, production, labour, waste, marketing, and consumption can be considered honest. 

We aim to spark an open and uncompromising debate to further existing knowledge and introduce new paradigms emerging from industry and academia.
