Absolutely loved this… especially he discussion and perspective of POC x luxury. In the west they often forget that luxury has historically come and been birthed from the global south, Africa and across the UAE and subcontinent. Cartier only became Cartier because of its access to jewels and inspiration from Jeanne Toussaint and her love for what back then was called ‘exotic’ but refers to all the places and spaces I mentioned. There’s still a long way to go of course but these perspectives are so vital - global doesn’t = the west which is finally starting to change. Brilliant article as always!
thank you for adding context to this! there’s honestly so much to this conversation than what I’ve written here but I love exploring it and keeping it in discussions
