Announcing Meet The Founder with Leading Fashion Entrepreneur Carmen Busquets

📍IN-PERSON EVENT, London

Date: April 18, 2024

UK members: We are excited to announce that Vogue Club’s exclusive Meet The Founder conversation series will be returning to London in April!

These intimate sessions give you to chance to hear firsthand from leaders across the beauty, fashion, and wellness spaces—and the opportunity to network with like-minded club members.

Carmen Busquets, who first came onto our radar as an early cofounder investor of Net-a-Porter, will be in conversation with Laura Hawkins, Vogue’s Acting Associate European Fashion Features Director, for a deep dive into her three-decade-long journey toward becoming a fashion- and luxury-business mogul. Throughout her storied career, Carmen has developed cutting-edge business ideas for both boutiques and e-commerce spaces—and her investment portfolio encompasses everything from tech-driven venture capital funds to online business-to-business platforms. (One of her key missions when investing: expanding sustainable development.)

Carmen is also a cofounder investor of THE FLOORR, the first business-to-business personal shopping engine for style experts. Carmen also dabbles in Web3 technology—and uses her entrepreneurial expertise to help nonprofit organisations engage in the conservation of natural resources, as well as to support businesses spearheading sustainable economic development and organisations that provide education and other basic human rights for all.

Carmen is on the board of Glasswing International, Nest, and Parsons School of Design, and is a National Council member of WWF-US.

Previous guests in our Meet The Founder series include cofounder and CEO of LoveSeen Jenna Lyons, designer Marco Capaldo of 16Arlington, Brandice Daniel of Harlem’s Fashion Row, and more…

Expect an evening of intimate conversation, networking and photo opportunities—and a few surprises.
