Christian Dior Couture’s Post

ZERO breaks, sleeping bags and phone tracking. 📵 That’s the price of luxury. Dior stripped its workers of basic human rights. All in pursuit of profit. A $2780 handbag cost them only $57 to make. Luxury has its place, but not at this cost. Perhaps such practices would have slipped by in the past. But the tides are changing. Your brand is everything that represents you. Your products, your workers, and your ethics. And let me tell you - customers are paying attention. Are you? 🤔 *source: https://lnkd.in/ezMscA-4 #Dior #Branding #Luxury

#personalbranding 😎: Values & Elegance ✨😎✨ Values serve as a guiding force. People can sense your values, because values are what motivates you. Whatever changes occur, staying true to values - you offer a distinctive viewpoint that sets you apart from others. "Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension." ✨Christian Dior✨: #personalbranding 📸 La Galerie Dior, Paris

As the Product Manager at HFumbrella, I recently received a video from a client asking to verify the authenticity of a Dior umbrella. Here are some red flags that indicate it's likely a counterfeit: Noisy Frame: The umbrella's frame makes a loud, unpleasant noise when opened, suggesting low-quality springs rubbing against the central shaft. High-end brands like Dior use superior materials to avoid such issues. Black Coating: The inner canopy is coated with a black coating, which is not typical for premium brands in the European and American markets. Dior and other luxury brands usually opt for higher-quality finishes that do not include black coating. Based on these observations, I can confidently say that the umbrella in the video is most likely a fake. Always pay attention to these details to ensure you're getting a genuine product. Stay vigilant and make informed purchases! #UmbrellaQuality #CounterfeitAwareness #ProductManagement #Dior #LuxuryGoods

In the rush of our daily routines, we often forget that life, at its core, is a dance meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. When we stop to admire a butterfly, we're not just observing its physics or analyzing the intricate patterns on its wings—we're witnessing a mesmerizing dance in the chaos of nature. It’s in these moments that life reveals its true beauty. In my regular discussions about luxury, I've noticed a shift in its essence. Traditionally, luxury was about creating beauty and enhancing human charm with exquisite, albeit sometimes inaccessible, materials. It was an art form that celebrated the unique and the extraordinary. However, the modern luxury industry seems to have veered off this path. Today, it's heavily driven by engineering, data, and an endless parade of endorsements. The beauty and charm that once defined luxury items seem overshadowed by a focus on brand names and materialistic value. I miss the days when luxury was synonymous with sheer beauty. Icons like Leonardo Da Vinci and Christian Dior didn’t rely on data to create timeless masterpieces. Dior’s 1954 pencil skirts weren’t just garments; they were celebrations of femininity, crafted to magnify beauty as per Dior’s own vision of the 'tall letter H'. As we navigate through this ever-changing world, let’s not lose sight of what truly matters. Let's remember that like a butterfly’s effortless dance, life and luxury should be simple, beautiful experiences that touch our souls and bring joy to our eyes. Let’s dance through life, cherishing its beauty and the true essence of luxury that once was. #luxury

4/12/2023 This December 23' we'll look at the luxury brands with their sustainability symphony, global odyssey and styling chronicles. Gucci - Creating a Luxurious Aura Curating the image of Gucci, a paragon of luxury, involves a meticulous process that begins with photography capturing the essence of the brand's opulence. Professional photographers are employed to artfully showcase each garment, accessory, or fragrance, ensuring that every image resonates with the brand's distinctive style and sophistication. The post-production phase employs cutting-edge editing techniques to enhance colours, textures, and details, creating visuals that exude luxury and allure. Gucci's visual identity extends beyond product images; carefully curated lifestyle and campaign photographs convey a narrative of extravagance, elegance, and avant-garde creativity. Packaging plays a crucial role in elevating the luxury experience. Each item is meticulously wrapped in bespoke boxes adorned with the iconic double-G logo and rich, vibrant patterns. Unboxing becomes a ceremonial experience, heightening anticipation and adding to the overall sense of exclusivity. Moreover, attention to detail extends to the selection of materials, ensuring that packaging exudes quality and sophistication. Every facet of this process, from photography to packaging, contributes harmoniously to the creation of a comprehensive and immersive luxury experience, where each detail reflects Gucci's commitment to craftsmanship and style, ultimately enhancing the brand's esteemed image in the eyes of its discerning clientele. This is the fourth out of the list. Let's see what this month unravels! 🌱

Today, we’re looking not only at funky shaped Cartier Baignoires in white and rose gold, but models that are seldom seen at all! Everyone and their mother in the watch industry know about the Cartier Crash, one of Cartier’s most famous and coveted models that are worn by A list celebrities and the rich. It’s a great, chic look that implies you know what you’re doing and you got six figures to spend on it! Anyways, these Baignoires that are quite similar in shape to the Crash are significantly less in price. They trade between the low twenty’s- to mid thirties currently, but with how the market is blowing up with Cartier (2024 will really be Cartier’s year), this specific model is expected to go up. We were lucky to source a quartz example in white gold (the left) at IWJG in Miami, a dealer only trade show. Of course, I wish I had access to more of these examples as I would put some away in the safe and wait for the values to SKYROCKET. Many other collectors/ dealers that have been doing this longer than I have been alive recommended to keep at least one at this rate. Who would of thought that both the niche and mainstream watch market would catch on to odd shapes in precious metals, but it’s well deserved. Cartier is informally known as the “king of shapes”, it was long overdue. The demand is so strong that other dress watches are benefiting from it as well. Weird is hot and it’s the Wild West for vintage watches right now. Happy hunting!

What is #luxury? Luxury is long lasting. Is crafting items that stay over time. It takes time to create a luxury item, and lots of craft. Its shape is timeless and it integrates beauty and refinement and longevity. Luxury is handmade. And it is a forever statement. Like the Cartier Panthere diamond bracelet. Like the Hermès scarf and Kelly bag. Like a roaring Ferrari or a silent Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Like a stay at the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco Like a glass of Ruinart Like a Patek Philippe watch Like a Loro Piana coat Like a CHANEL haute couture dress. As I write in my book “Luxury Unlocked”, luxury is made to last, #fashion is made to entertain.
