Luxury brands have made some surprising pivots in recent years, from surprising collaborations with digital creators to integration into gaming environments.
The last few years have also brought some distinctive macroeconomic challenges: global cost of living and supply-chain crises. These phenomena squeeze purses, affecting the market for high-price-point products, but they also pose a reputational challenge for premium manufacturers. Is it problematic to advertise luxury goods when so many are struggling? Do those difficulties at least change the rules for brands in this space? Is luxury in a tough time a welcome treat or a garish reminder?
