At the Elevator Conference 2015, Christian will give us a fascinating insight into his strategy for building the CM brand, the hurdles he faced to be accepted onto the worldwide luxury fashion stage and how he set about reinventing ‘Miracle at Medinah’ Ryder Cup player Paul Lawrie as a fashion icon to feature in GQ magazine alongside the world’s most famous supermodels and brands.

Some words of wisdom from Christian:

My Father once told me; he said, "Christian there are 24 hours in a day. Everyone gets this, everyone gets the same amount; nothing more, nothing less.

Now Son, to get the best out of your day you need to sleep for 8 hours. To live a successful life where you have enough income coming in to live, pay for your accommodation, lifestyle and wellbeing you need to work for 8 hours a day. 8 plus 8 = 16 hours. You now have 8 hours left, what are you going to do with your spare 8 hours? The choice is yours!"

The Elevator Conference takes place on the 20th of November at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre. To come along and hear from Christian and the rest of our amazing line up you can book your place HERE
