Global luxury market projected to reach €1.5 trillion in 2023, a new record for the sector, as consumers seek luxury experiences Despite continued growth, this marks a pivotal moment for brands; winners will define themselves through resilience, relevance, and renewal to navigate through growing turbulence Zuhair Murad Couture 2023 Collection presented in Paris. All rights reserved. The global luxury market is projected to reach €1.5 trillion in 2023, an 8-10% growth over 2022, setting a new record for the industry and proving its unparalleled resilience. These are among the findings of the latest Bain & Company report with Altagamma, the Italian luxury goods manufacturers’ industry association. Spending on experiences, particularly, recovered to historic highs, fueled by a resurgence in social interactions and travel. Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, the market registered robust growth of 11-13%, at constant exchange rates. This is consistent with last year’s growth rate and translates to a ~€160 billion increment in spending across luxury categories. Amid pronounced geopolitical and macroeconomic shifts, the luxury market has proven unparalleled resilience this year. The key segment, personal luxury goods, has experienced continued growth in 2023 and is projected to reach €362 billion by end of year, 4% higher than 2022 at current exchange rates. However, headwinds remain heading into the fourth quarter, including fragile consumer confidence, macroeconomic tensions in China, and sparse signs of recovery in the US. The research suggests a softening personal luxury goods performance in 2024, achieving low-to-mid single digit growth over 2023, based on current scenarios. “This is a defining moment for brands, and the winners will separate themselves through resilience, relevance, and renewal—the basics of the new value-centered luxury equation,” said Claudia D’Arpizio, a Bain & Company partner and leader of Bain’s global Luxury Goods and Fashion practice, the lead author of the study. “The luxury market is generating positive growth for 65-70% of brands in 2023, compared to 95% in 2022. To stay in the game, it will be crucial for brands to take bold decisions on behalf of their customers.” “The market is set for long-term growth, rooted on strong fundamentals,” said Federica Levato, partner at Bain & Company and leader of the firm’s EMEA Luxury Goods and Fashion practice, co-author of today’s report. “Capturing and amplifying the market potential will be key, as the clear convergence among luxury markets allows for further expansion. Players have the opportunity, but also the responsibility, to reinforce their meaning, while leveraging strategic M&A to redefine the boundaries of the industry. These will be foundational drivers for growth in the future.” Regional perspectives: European tourism rebounds, American spending decelerates, and Chinese consumers fuel the Asian luxury ecosystem The study shows global luxury tourist purchases have nearly reached pre-pandemic levels, with untapped potential remaining in many areas. Europe has enjoyed a progressive pickup in tourism, driving growth across countries, with long-haul resort locations attracting high spenders alongside key luxury cities. Even if local aspirational customers were impacted by macroeconomic instability, stable top-customer pools maintained positive momentum contributing to market growth. Alternatively, the Americas have seen a deceleration throughout the year, posting an 8% drop from 2022, as widespread uncertainty continues to impact aspirational customers’ spending. Top customers remain confident but have maintained their spending abroad, as the US dollar remains strong against the Euro and price differentials favor oversea purchases. Saudi Arabia is accelerating, attracting investments of major luxury brands; and Australia has provided fertile ground for growth. Mainland China posted a strong performance after its first quarter reopening but slowed progressively as new macroeconomic topics arose. Hainan is poised to grow as a bright luxury hub, set to become an entire duty-free island by 2025. Japan is booming, thanks to sound local customers and the weak Yen, favoring touristic inflows. Conversely, South Korea is facing a challenging year, with unfavorable macroeconomic headwinds impacting local consumption and strong currency leading tourists to buy elsewhere. Southeast Asian countries experienced positive momentum, thanks to strong intraregional tourism and growing interest from local consumers, especially in Thailand. Category perspectives: jewelry shines, consumer quest for experiences bolsters monobrand stores The Bain and Altagamma analysis shows all luxury categories achieving growth, favored by continued price elevation, partially undermining volumes. Fueled by an investment mindset, jewelry is set to reach €30 billion in market value in 2023, with fine jewelry affirming itself as a bright spot for investments amid uncertainty. Ready-to-wear is showing positive growth, favored by top spenders on the ultra-high offer, with unfolding demand for excellence and durability. Beauty, driven by make-up and fragrances, is enjoying positive momentum, favored by the emerging lipstick effect in the Americas and Europe. Watches continue to thrive, despite a rising polarization around few industry winners. And after overperformance in recent years, growth in leather goods is slowing. In terms of channels, monobrand is leading the distribution ecosystem, favored by consumers’ quest for physical experiences and the increasing role of clienteling in sales. Physical and digital experiences are increasingly blending, requiring brands to deliver excellence in the experience across the whole consumer journey. Conversely, multi-brand environments suffer sharp slowdown in both department and specialty stores, with rising questions on how to evolve their value proposition to best serve consumers’ needs. Multi-generational complexity unfolds Brands must navigate through rising multigenerational complexity, playing ambidextrously to serve different needs across the consumer base. Generation X and Y are in their peek income years, representing the bulk of luxury purchases and the key pool of income growth in the near future. However, Generation Z is positioned at the forefront of social and cultural change, inspiring other generations’ value systems, with a strong desire for lived experiences and quest for meaning. By 2030, Gen Z will account for 25-30% of luxury market purchases, while millennials will account for 50-55%. Luxury market in 2030: what’s next? Looking ahead to 2030, solid fundamentals are poised to continue to drive market growth, despite possible bumps along the route. Chinese customers will account for 35-40% of the personal luxury goods market, while Europeans and Americans together will represent 40%. And online and monobrand channels are expected to account for two-thirds of the entire market by 2030. In this context, brands will have to focus on providing differentiation and meaningful experiences across the whole customer journey, regardless of the touchpoint of interaction. This will also lead to a new season of M&A, driven by the necessity to address key challenges of the industry. Leading on sustainability and embracing tech will be key. Maintaining a purposeful approach will continue to be pivotal to long-term success. In an increasingly crowded market, brands must focus on creativity and innovation to enhance relevance to consumers, with the ultimate goal of cultivating a base of brand lovers to broaden their reach. Mastering short-term challenges is simultaneously critical. Brands must instill responsiveness and adaptability as guiding principles in their operations. This involves introducing flexibility in the business structure and optimizing governance and processes for efficiency.

But not any form of architecture: the experimental, postmodern architecture of the 1960s, when a handful of ground-breaking architects went against the prevailing utilitarian trend, creating innovative, organic forms. HM11 ‘Architect’ is the culmination of 18 years of watchmaking R&D at MB&F, as much in case design as in movement engineering.

The first three rooms contain hours and minutes, the power reserve indicator, and a thermometer, while the fourth room is for time setting: an oversized crown in sapphire crystal, a world first. To wind the 4 days of power reserve, another world first: simply rotate the entire case on its base, a system so efficient that turning the case just 90 degrees will power the watch up for 2½ hours. And finally, the insane case itself – undefinable but just 42mm in diameter – with its 92 components, including 19 gaskets that make this 3D sculpture of titanium and sapphire water-resistant.

"I am a witness...and I can not look away"- Two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett "In ten years' time, people will still be drowning on our shores unless something changes," the Australian actress said, recalling the shipwreck near Lampedusa that left over 360 migrants dead in 2013 and other similar incidents that have happened since then. "Complex situations require complex solutions. They require dialogue. They require collaboration, not soundbites or slogans. Finding sustainable solutions in countries of origin, transit and destination is the only way." The two-time Oscar winner spoke on Wednesday afternoon in her capacity as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, upon the invitation of European Parliament Presiden. Both held a bilateral meeting before heading to the hemicycle in Brussels, where Blanchett spoke for more than 20 minutes under the watchful eye of MEPs and the crowded gallery of visitors, who repeatedly interrupted her intervention with applause. "Globally, forced displacement has now passed the grim milestone of 114 million people. Many of those caught up in this maelstrom have made unbelievably dangerous journeys in search of a place of safety," Blanchett said. "Addressing the challenges of forced displacement and mixed movements requires unity, international cooperation, resources and patient compassionate work to address the multiple and overlapping reasons that people move" out of their countries.View on Watch Drawing from the testimonies of the refugees she has met across her trips as Goodwill Ambassador, the actress asked lawmakers to put themselves in the shoes of those who flee "catastrophic experiences" in their homelands and risk their lives to reach a safer port, despite knowing their chances of survival are evidently dim. Her plea for kindness and empathy took on a special meaning against the backdrop of the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Gaza Strip, which she mentioned just briefly. "In the words of the poet Warsan Shire, no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark. You have to understand that no one puts their children in a boat unless water is safer than the land," she said. Blanchett then urged MEPs to use their power as public representatives to uphold the spirit of the 1951 Refugee Convention and debunk "dangerous myths" stoking "far too much fear and hostility," a reference to the claims frequently used by hard-line politicians to instil in voters a sense of menace and insecurity. The argument that welcoming refugees puts "too many demands" on state resources, squeezes job markets and undermines traditional values not only shows a "monumental compassion deficit," she said, but also a "disregard for history," as Europe has historically been "crisscrossed" by people fleeing wars, pogroms and other forms of persecution. "As the representatives of the people of Europe, please remind your constituents that low and middle-income countries host the vast majority, nearly 90% of all forcibly displaced people," Blanchett said, speaking directly to the MEPs in the audience. "Take this message to them. Challenge false claims that will ultimately only see divisions in our own communities. Scapegoating so often leads to violence and unrest." In what was perhaps the most political moment of the speech, Blanchett denounced the "harmful" policy of "externalisation," a term that describes the efforts made by Western countries to outsource their asylum responsibilities to neighbouring and, in some cases, faraway countries. Blanchett's home country, Australia, spent years pursuing a migration policy based on keeping irregular arrivals locked in overseas island detention centres, often for very long periods of time. The system, now on standby, was heavily criticised by UN experts and humanitarian NGOs as abusive and punitive. But in recent years, other wealthy nations have announced similar plans, including the UK's scheme with Rwanda, which remains stuck in a legal battle, and Italy's brand new plan with Albania, announced only two days ago. "As an Australian, I can tell you that we learnt the hard way, the devastating physical and mental torment the refugees experienced whilst being corralled offshore. The psychological damage to those guarding them, the billions of dollars of taxpayers money wasted on a now discredited and largely abandoned approach," Blanchett said. "And may I say to the resultant shame and regret that many of my fellow Australians feel now surrounding these ineffective and inhumane policies." The speech was capped with a standing ovation from MEPs and visitors. Widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of the 21st century, Blanchett is known for her commanding screen presence, her effortless versatility and her penchant for taking on challenging characters in auteur movies. Her extensive catalogue of critically acclaimed performances includes Carol, by Todd Haynes; Nightmare Alley, by Guillermo Del Toro; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, by David Fincher; and Babel, by Alejandro González Iñárritu; as well as her Oscar-winning roles in The Aviator, by Martin Scorsese, and Blue Jasmine, by Woody Allen. Blanchett's lauded turn as Lydia Tár, the imperious chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic whose past sins prompt a spectacular fall from grace, earned her this year her eighth Academy Award nomination. quoted from the original article published by euronews Read our New Issue See Haute couture from Dior, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and more Explore Moralmoda Art Culture Lifestyle Travel Business Interviews Events ​ Get in touch About us Contacts Subscribe

I A glamorous coastal destination revives the mid-century style of the Athenian Riviera ©One&Only Aesthesis Heralding a return to the golden days of the Athenian Riviera, One&Only Aesthesis is welcoming its first guests on 11 November, 2023. One&Only’s highly anticipated debut resort in Greece is situated in the cosmopolitan neighbourhood of Glyfada, ensconced within a serene 21-hectare beach and forest reserve. Overlooking the sapphire waters of the Aegean Sea, One&Only Aesthesis evokes the essence of a private island, just 30 minutes from the ancient marvels of Athens. The resort blends historic treasures, world-class culinary experiences, and transformative wellness in an elegant beachfront setting. The glittering coastal hideaway recalls the 60’s vibrant Hollywood Grecian era, that Glyfada is most known for. “The opening of One&Only Aesthesis marks an important milestone and a significant achievement for Kerzner International as we continue our strategic expansion into Europe and key markets around the world,” says Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer, Kerzner International. “Our exceptional one-off collection of ultra-luxury One&Only Resorts and Private Homes exist hand-in-hand with the natural landscape, the sustainable use of resources, and a positive impact on local communities – pillars that are embedded in One&Only Aesthesis. Together with Grivalia Hospitality, we are excited to be the driving force behind the renaissance of Glyfada and the Athenian Riviera.” REIMAGINED COASTAL LIVING Echoing the vibrant spirit of a bygone era, One&Only Aesthesis boasts an exceptional collection of rooms, bungalows, suites, residences and villas that redefine the concept of al fresco living. Expansive outdoor living spaces offer unparalleled peace and seclusion, featuring private pools, fragrant gardens, and atmospheric showers and fireplaces. Bathed in sunlight, the architecture pays homage to mid-century design with local marble, native timbers, woven leather details and muted tones. At the heart of this coastal haven lies the iconic Villa One. Spanning a vast 1,400sqm, it boasts 922sqm of outdoor entertaining space, including a 25m statement swimming pool, a seafront Jacuzzi, panoramic vistas from every angle, decking extending to the water's edge, and a sunken lounge area with a fire pit. Next door, Villa Nostos resonates the resort’s design storytelling, with a central swimming pool, outdoor lounge and dining areas with a fireplace, and lush native gardens that create a protected sanctuary just steps from the sea. In tune with the coastal setting, the resort also offers an intimate community of One&Only Private Homes. Promising all the comforts of home, each embodies a unique haven of style, tying the nostalgia of the past with a modern, ultra-luxury experience, available as part of Private Homes Rental Programme. A rich culinary journey awaits at One&Only Aesthesis, as the resort leads the revival of Glyfada as one of Greece’s most cosmopolitan dining and lifestyle destinations. A crown jewel of the dining scene at the resort is Manko, a captivating day-to-night destination poised to shine in Glyfada's beach scene. With a private pool, three vibrant bars, and the allure of beachfront dining, guests can relish Peruvian-inspired cuisine while taking in the breathtaking coastal views. The resort's Executive Chef, Frederic Le Gac, has collaborated with acclaimed one-MICHELIN-star Greek-Italian Chef Ettore Botrini for the resort menus, who brings his enigmatic Mediterranean cuisine to Ora by Ettore Botrini. Adding further culinary star power to the resort opening is an exclusive pop-up by acclaimed two-MICHELIN-star Spanish chef Paco Morales. At El Bar de Paco Morales, he reimagines Andalusian cuisine with Mediterranean flavours, delivering a relaxed yet lively setting. Celebrating Greece's culinary heritage and native ingredients, Alelia bar is a tribute to the nation's rich olive tradition, serving masterfully crafted cocktails infused with olives, herbs and citrus. Overlooking the Aesthesis pool Minima promises relaxed all-day drinking and light bites. As the sun sets, the resort's vibrancy comes alive at the elegant Thimisi. Offering handcrafted cocktails and fine wines, this sophisticated bar provides the perfect backdrop for casual evenings or lively social gatherings with friends. Combining culture, nature and ancient history on the mythical Athenian Riviera, One&Only Aesthesis has designed experiences to captivate the senses. These adventures include a curated tour of the Acropolis and its UNESCO-listed sites, as well as bespoke workshops in Athens including ‘Greek Sandal Making’ with local artisans and ‘Conservation of Rare Art & Jewellery’ at the Benaki Museum. At One&Only Aesthesis, the experience begins with a private stretch of golden beach, beckoning guests to sun-kissed watersports, private sailing trips, diving adventures, and snorkelling tours across the Aegean Sea. An exclusive hideaway, adults-only Mystiko beach, nestled behind fragrant pine trees, offers a secluded escape. Additionally, Club One, at the heart of the resort, serves as a centre for fitness and relaxation, boasting a fully equipped gym, tennis courts, and Padel. For younger guests aged four to 11, the dedicated KidsOnly club promises escapism through nature, with a giant treehouse village, lush gardens, and outdoor games to spark their imaginations. It's a haven for creativity, play, and learning amidst the lush gardens. THE ART OF WELLBEING One&Only has partnered with the famed French beauty house to open the first Guerlain Spa in Greece.
