MAY

AM
Hear
Peter talk.
In a world in which anyone can have a custom case made
for their iPhone and get personalized recommendations on
Netflix, consumers expect the products and services they
use to be tailored to their preferences. And yet apparel is still
fundamentally a category in which products are designed and
manufactured for averages; and historically, to get a custom
garment, one has to spend multiples of what they’d spend for
a ready-to-wear garment. In this session, Peter Housley will
discuss how INDOCHINO is disrupting apparel by updating
the traditional tailoring experience for the mass market.
Meet
Peter.
Peter is a Senior Executive with President,
CEO and CMO experience including retail,
fashion, hospitality, digital pure play, and
consumer goods industries. He is a creator of
brands and businesses, ranging from $3M to
$200M. Peter came to INDOCHINO to help
fuel a global suit revolution.
