About this Event

Join Fashion Quarterly and Lexus for an intimate evening of powerful conversation as we return with the second edition of our 'What Drives You' series. Hosted by iconic fashion designer Karen Walker, this thought-provoking evening continues the conversation, bringing together a powerhouse panel of women who are redefining what power, precision and purpose look like across their respective industries.

From navigating setbacks to staying grounded in fast-paced environments, these women will share what fuels their passion, and how they continue to move forward with clarity and conviction. Through candid stories and reflective insights, our speakers will explore the pivotal moments, mindset shifts and lessons that have shaped their journeys.

Whether you’re building something new or seeking a renewed sense of purpose in your current chapter, this is your invitation to gather, reflect, and be recharged by real stories of passion, leadership and resilience.

What to Expect:

Real talk from the top: Discover what 'drive' looks like for women at the top of their game in their chosen professions. From defining success and pushing through setbacks, to navigating uncertainty with clarity and courage.

Creative balance: Hear how our panellists manage the delicate dance between passion and practicality—running businesses while nurturing their craft.

Connection and motivation: Be inspired by candid stories of resilience, leadership and growth that will spark your own drive and ambition
