LUXURY
“Luxury is a necessity that begins where necessity ends.” - Coco Chanel’s words resonate more profoundly today than ever before. As the boundaries of necessity blur and expand, so too does our understanding of luxury. A secret hiding in plain sight is that the definition of luxury is evolving. The luxury brands of the future will not merely sell cars, watches, or purses; instead, they will offer knowledge, ideas, and connections.
In the past, luxury was often synonymous with exclusivity and opulence—an ostentatious display of wealth and status through tangible goods. Yet, as globalization and technology democratize access to high-quality products and experiences, traditional symbols of luxury are becoming ubiquitous. When everyone can dress in designer clothes, vacation in exotic locales, drive high-end cars, and dine at gourmet restaurants, the exclusivity that once defined luxury dissipates.
This shift challenges luxury brands to innovate and redefine what it means to be truly luxurious. The new luxury will center around intangibles that cannot be mass-produced or easily imitated. Knowledge, ideas, and connections will become the new hallmarks of luxury, catering to a society increasingly valuing intellectual and experiential wealth over material possessions.
