For FRAME, where I write an insight on retail design titled, 'What does the Democratization of Luxury mean for Retail Design?' "Luxury's traditional and elite superficiality is transformed into a tangible and accessible reality when it curates services through innovative design typologies, appealing to both popular and intellectual culture alike. With brands increasingly clamoring for relevance, luxury at all levels now comes to us and seizes our attention for a few digital and physical moments. Whether this looks like a restaurant from Louis Vuitton, a Dior swimming pool, or a Nike flea market, luxury democratization has shown an extreme case of levelling on the whole, assuring that more and more transitory design blends, mash-ups, and integrations to find a middle ground – avoiding ubiquity in the wide – are bound to occur."

Salone del Mobile What we can learn from Milan Design Week 2024. Luxury brands are always seeking innovative ways to engage with consumers and stay ahead of the curve. One prominent strategy is diversification across industries, which allows luxury brands to tap into new markets and demographics while maintaining their exclusivity and prestige. 1.  Prada held its third annual Frames symposium, inviting guest speakers to the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum to lead discussions on the idea of the home. “The home is no longer merely a source of comfort; it acts as a shelter and an infrastructure of services. This constantly evolving, dynamic space is where the socio-economic norms that underpin communities have historically taken shape. The sessions included contributors such as Isabella Rossellini and Brigitte Baptiste. 2. In Palazzo Versace, we could discover the brand’s opulent “conversation sofas” in the mansion where Gianni used to keep an apartment, accompanied by an audio tour marking significant moments in Versace history. 3. Loro Piana exhibition of couches and chairs by pioneering Italian architect Cini Boeri. 4. If there were a contest for the most graceful venue at Milan Design Week, Ralph Lauren's space Rationalist Palazzo on Via San Barnaba would likely emerge as the frontrunner for the prize. 5. Sabato De Sarno unveiled his first furniture collection for Gucci in his trademark glossy burgundy—or “Ancora red”. #embarrinstitute #salonedelmobile #milandesignweek #luxury #luxurydesign #interiordesign #luxurylifestyle #luxuryliving

Creativity has no boundaries as is clearly attested in Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry video which speaks volumes. This is what I love about this video ❤️ 

1. It brings to life yet another Louis Vuitton's commitment to push boundaries of creativity by collaborating with visionaries from different fields. 2. Frank Gehry's distinct perspective as an architect brings a refreshing twist to the iconic Capucines bag, reminding us that creativity knows no bounds and can stand the test of time. 3. Through the seamless transitions, the video navigates from the curated display of the bags to the intimate artist interaction of the product making the complex appear effortlessly elegant. The shots of the bags on the stands perfectly align with the campaign photos. 4. The art of storytelling within a 50-second timeframe is no small feat, yet this video manages to convey not only the message of boundless creativity but also the essence of the Louis Vuitton brand. It goes beyond showcasing products; it invites us into a world where every detail, every stitch, and every collaboration is a carefully curated expression of artistry. #FrankGehry #fashion #LouisVuitton #storytelling

💠 Rare things are valuable. This principle works everywhere. When fewer people know the unique aesthetic beauty and elegance of the #ArtGlass,  adding a touch of it helps the brand to stand out and make a strong impression on its audience. 🔆 For premium watches and jewelry, using a compatible type of art glass makes the display look more luxurious and full of high class. It is definitely an element worth trying for #visualmerchandisers and retail #designers. There are unlimited possibilities. #DisplayDesign #Luxury #ColorGlass #Luxurypackaging #windowdisplays #VM #visualmerchandising #Luxurymaterials #creativity #retailmarketing #brandexperience Yan Luo
