The World Luxury Chamber of Commerce (WLCC) introduces Issue 4 of Luxury People Magazine, Women in Luxury, a focused look at the women making decisions, building companies, and influencing how the industry operates today.
This is not a collection of profiles. It is a series of conversations with people who are actively working inside the system, across hospitality, aviation, media, fragrance, design, and real estate, and approaching leadership with a different lens.
On the cover, Gilda Perez-Alvarado, Chief Strategy Officer of Accor and CEO of Orient Express, speaks with WLCC President Alexander Chetchikov about what it really takes to manage legacy brands in a modern market. From capital discipline to long-term positioning, her perspective is grounded in execution, not theory. She also addresses the tension between protecting heritage and making necessary changes.
Across the issue, the tone stays direct. Cherry Collins of Havas Media Lux breaks down why craftsmanship and cultural awareness now carry more weight than traditional prestige signals. Dr. Felisha Kay, Founder of House of Infinite Luxe, shifts the conversation toward identity and how luxury is experienced on a personal level.
Blaine Ashley, founder of New York Champagne Week, talks about building a platform that connects champagne, culture, and female entrepreneurship on a global scale. Lisa Holland, President and CEO of Sheltair Aviation, shares what it means to lead a major aviation network through disruption, while keeping operations steady.
The issue also brings in voices from PR, hospitality, fragrance, and real estate, offering a broader, practical view of where the industry is moving.
Alongside the interviews, the edition includes focused insights on luxury travel, sustainability in hospitality and yachting, and the current state of global real estate.
This issue is less about image and more about how the business of luxury actually works today.
