Pushing the boundaries of Luxury

In the endless race for attention, luxury brands have to take evermore creative measures in order to reach their target audience. Culture, creativity and technology are luxury's secret weapons to tell their story in a more relevant way.

Luxury brands have the means to experiment with culture and play with emerging technologies in ways that can shape worlds of possibilities.

Last week, Balenciaga presented a custom episode of The Simpsons to introduce their fashion show. This brilliant marketing stunt shows how smart creative minds can push the boundaries of luxury.

In the meantime, more and more brands are venturing into the metaverse and playing with NFTs. They are paving the way for a new era of experiences. Those experiences will evolve over time as technologies continue to improve.

These brands are early adopters and users of new, emerging technologies not only because they can afford to experiment but also because they can't afford to miss on such a big trend.

It’s been really exciting to watch it all develop from the ground up. I hope this newsletter will inspire you, surprise you and make you think… What the Luxe?!

Cheers,

David Klingbeil
