What does luxury mean to you? For some, it’s tapping into the season’s latest trends before anyone else, securing rare archival finds or indulging in an investment piece of jewellery to last a lifetime. For others, it’s voting with one’s wallet or simply having the time and space to consider a smart purchase equipped with every minute detail. What’s most important—to me, to everyone on my team and indeed all the people I know who work in or adore fashion—is that however much you spend, it needs to be worth it. This is where our Luxury Issue steps in to help.

​

From thousands of runway looks we cherry-picked the few brands and outfits that are ready to step into the real world, lighting up the streets and powering up our wardrobes with buys that have longevity yet don’t skimp on excitement. Then there’s the all-female shopping list featuring industry women of excellent taste and the pieces they’d purchase from female-led designers and labels—patriarchy, schmatriarchy. We analyse the standout products from what we’ve dubbed the Luxury Beauty League, aka the upper echelons of the world’s most expensive beauty products. And last, but never least, we take a deep dive into the trends of note in fine jewellery and watches—a final flourish they may be, but one that provides a personal touch like nothing else.

Enjoy!
