Luxury – the word itself implies indulgence of a decadent nature. However I have known a very wealthy woman whose luxury consisted of cleaning out rooms at a Buddhist centre – so luxury in its true sense means ‘out of the ordinary’ – the commercial world has stolen both the phrase ‘designer collection’ and ‘luxury brand’ – whereas, in fact, real luxury is artisan – art created by artists who have a passion for their craftsmanship – not the mass produced ‘stuff’ like bags and blazers made in tens of thousands. So luxury in the future will not be the commercial heavily advertised and promoted articles that have names emblazened on the surface – real luxury will be truely beautiful crafted clothes that tell the story of the individual instead of the individual as part of a mass. With the internet it is now possible for these gems to be found by anyone in the world – a new order has been born. There will always be room for the cloned and aspirational, but the individual is now stronger and the big corporations will have to consider what role they now need to play. Just being able to touch on the world of fashion through the newsletter from Business of Fashion is luxury to me. Thank you for that.

Hi Imran,
I am a member of Luxury Society and have been for a little while now. I love the site and in particular the newswire – worldwide luxury news all in one place! I can’t seem to access any of the “career” section or the “intelligence – market watch” is there a limited access restriction?
Best regards
Kellie McSorley

Not a bad idea. You’ll need to reach out several artisans and avoid large industry, no matter how high-end they pretend to be.

@Leigh: Actually, the Harold Tillman talk had nothing to do with BoF, but seems they decided to co-opt our name! That’s okay…we are happy the The Business of Fashion spirit is spreading.

Hello Imran,
Missed your conversation with Harold Tilman, I’m told it was a good evening! How very enticing and intriguing is the concept of a ‘whisper campaign’. The power of word of mouth I love it! Looking forward to its general release and hopefully a subscription!?

Hello Imran,

I’m a kitchen design specialist that represents luxury bespoke cabinetry to the trade. Kitchens are based on fashion and I stumbled across your site on a LinkedIn discussion board.

Maybe the whisper will grow to a scream!!

Loved the viral old school/new school campaign.

Thanks for sharing and now you’ve got a new supporter for your beautiful site. Looking forward to being included in the Secret Society.
