Contemporary Art Sells Luxury Products The Frieze New York art fair starts this week. One of the most important events in the art calendar. Luxury customers who purchase street wear influenced luxury products are influenced by american contemporary artists like Jeff Koons and Daniel Arsham. #luxurycustomers This is why luxury brands often work with contemporary artists to design products for them. Daniel Arsham recently made a limited edition jewellery line for Tiffany & Co. #luxurybrandpartnerships Streetwear today is imbedded in many luxury brands. Which means contemporary art is even more important to brand partnerships. There are many very talented contemporary artists and brand opportunities for luxury brands to leverage and attract luxury customers.

Less than one year ago, Andrea Jose Castro and I met in Lima at Conservation X Labs #InnovationXchange (thanks Cassie H. for orchestrating!). Since then we've traded stories, ideas, and encouragement to continue creating a jewelry industry that elevates people at its core. Next wednesday, I'm honored to reunite with Andrea Jose and several other sustainability and social impact leaders NYC Jewelry Week to talk where we're seeing progress, where we're getting stuck, and how to really move forward together. #NYCJW #Sustainability #ResponsibleSourcing #Sostenibilidad #Impactosocial

My writeup on Prada’s new exhibition in Shanghai and why it’d do well —- Nearly a year after China lifted Covid-19 restrictions, luxury brands are eager to connect with an audience that yearns to form emotional and physical connections in real life. Gucci’s exhibition in April, Louis Vuitton’s pop-up in October, and Hermès’ exhibition this month all epitomise the industry trend. Pradasphere II is likely to bode well given the brand’s strong foundation with locals even through Covid-19 – holding ongoing talks and pop-ups at Rong Zhai, a historic residence restored by Prada, and the 2021 wet market pop-up in Shanghai that has served as a textbook reference for other luxury brands. These give both long-time aficionados and new admirers a chance to engage with the legacy beyond the luxury retail space. #chinamarket #fashionandbeauty #luxury #pradasphere https://lnkd.in/gjpBn3jK

💎Buying a piece of history instead of a mere object… 🤩”Exhibitions of original pieces show how, in 💎jewellery, the present and the past are intertwined: business is all about enticing with the new, but desirability is burnished by elevating the heritage”. 🎯Such exhibitions are possible only thanks to businesses investing strategically in their archives, with specialists poring over documents, organising ledgers and buying back historically significant 💎pieces. 🌟 “Exhibitions are about connecting a wider audience to the brand, bringing us closer to these otherwise distant objects and rarefied worlds. They are about demonstrating the influence of the brand over time. It’s about building cultural capital ». 📈 »archives and public showcases increase a brand’s secondary market value and provide “trustworthiness, and almost a claim to gentrification as if new money is desiring old money’s security”.
