The new wave of luxury retailers – An interesting trend is emerging in fashion. A series of insiders – including The Sartorialist, Monocle‘s Tyler Brûlé (a columnist for this newspaper) and property developer Nic Candy, of Candy and Candy – are using their social networks to become retailers.
In the case of The Sartorialist, it builds on this idea of collaboration which I referenced in a post earlier this week about Liberty and Hermes. It also hints a new form of luxury in the post-boom. Brûlé has talked about this but could this see a move away from the idea of mass luxury to a more community-based, social network version?
