Bio
Carmen Busquets is a Venezuelan entrepreneur, strategic investor and philanthropist whose career in the luxury fashion industry spans over three decades. A pioneering member of the fashion-tech space, Carmen champions its potential to advance sustainable development, turning the luxury fashion industry into one that balances profit with purpose.
carmenbusquets.com is her current investment and philanthropic vehicle, a natural continuation of a career that has been forged by a commitment to experiment, disrupt and challenge existing ideas. From the avant-garde luxury fashion boutique Cabus in Caracas, to the launch of CoutureLab a boutique, e-commerce and content platform with a focus on selling one-off handcrafted pieces and promoting fashion-transcending trends, Carmen has always chosen to uplift creative companies and founders that value artisan craftsmanship and cultural heritage as much as innovative technologies.
Having practiced the mind and body disciplines of mindfulness and meditation from an early age, Carmen advocates for the benefits of balancing material life with spiritual well being, a set of practices she believes to be inherently linked to her business success.
In addition to her investments in the luxury fashion, lifestyle and technology sectors, Carmen leverages her entrepreneurial expertise to help non-profit organizations engaged in the conservation of the earth’s natural resources, in sustainable economic development, and in providing education and human rights to all.
I'm passionate about
The mind & body connection. Creative expression. Human rights. Female empowerment. Social mobility. Artisan craftsmanship. Conservation. The unknown and the world that we cannot see but which we can feel. Plus so much more.
An idea worth spreading
Your physical limitations can turn out to be your creative strength and a blessing.
Things you might not know
Reading between the lines and teaching others how to meditate.
