The Luxury Channel has just returned from Japan where we interviewed the movers and shakers, gathered together at the Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit, held at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo. Accompanying our crew was author and model Marie Helvin, retracing the steps that led her to an almost 40 year career in the public eye.
