Happy new year!
Dear all,
What a fascinating time to be in luxury! 2023 was an pivotal year for the luxury industry and 2024 is already starting strong.
I'm sure the next 12 months will be full of surprises (wink Jacquemus), controversies (wink Guerlain Quantum) and news that will make you think What The Luxe?! (wink Hermes' $126 enveloppe).
You can count on me to be by your side and take a close look at all of it.
Kickstart 2024 by listening to this podcast
Ashley from Tech Powered Luxury has invited me to talk about data and storytelling for luxury brands.
Listen to the full episode here, in order to start the year the right way:
I hope this newsletter will inspire you, surprise you and make you think… What the Luxe?!
Cheers,
