Individuality the new luxury, and is the new flex not wearing any logos at all? In a world of micro trends, butter yellow, and sambas, it's starting to look that way. We're in a moment where everything, even luxury, feels like a trend. One where sameness is disguised as taste. Butter yellow is everywhere right now. Sambas are the default shoe. And the Miu Miu oval glasses, at worst, they felt like a nice reference to nineties Julia Roberts. Now they signal algorithmic compliance, not taste. It's no longer about personality. It's about participation. But here's the interesting part. What dominates the feed isn't always what people actually love. Love. It's what's been amplified by brands, influencers, and paid strategy, and that's the part I find fascinating. Overexposure rarely matches cultural desire, because when I check what's really selling across brands, it's rarely the viral pieces. It's the quieter ones, chosen out of personal preference, not for visibility. Luxury used to be about scarcity, craftsmanship, and meaning. Now it's about visibility and algorithms. Somewhere between aesthetic fatigue and creative virality, the mystique and individuality disappeared. As a creative director, it's really interesting to see what's trending, and what I really care about is what actually builds mood that shapes the zeitgeist, not to chase hype, but to decode and understand what actually resonates. So what is the true luxury in 2025? If you ask me, it's curation, taste, and personality.
