... for me:
full of contradictions
something that you have to wait for feeling privileged,
scarcity and opulence,
a dream that becomes reality,
an old story with a contemporary meaning,
personalized object which is being desired by others,
so expensive but priceless,
something that you keep for yourself having pleasure of sharing it with a special one.

In 2009 I promised myself to be a more frequent guest on luxury directory to update some information about luxury themed online and offline activities. It's amazing how many sites we have right now that in one way or the other want to sell, show or share luxury. The new trend that I am seeing right now is an emergence of luxury themed books. They don't necessarily speak about history of luxury brands but instead portray the multiplication of its facets in attempt to ones for ever define this notion in motion:).
Here comes 2nd and 3rd book by Uche Okonkwo Luxury Now : Evolution, Status, Future & Luxury Online.
Today I run across a new notion of Haute Luxe where Philippe Mihailovich argues that his first book- to -come will not be " just another book about branding presented as a pseudo-science"
I was happy to learn that Mark Tungate who is an author of Fifty: The Amazing World of Renzo Rosso and Diesel and Fashion Brands: Branding Style From Armani to Zara is working on his new book, where he "will take a journalistic look at the future of luxury brands".
Seems like we have entered a "luxera" in 2009.
