Luxury Needs a Stage, Not Just a Story

What do Dior documentaries on Amazon Prime and Veuve Clicquot at a gas station have in common? They’re both powerful symbols of luxury losing control of its context. In this bold episode, we unpack why Big Tech platforms, designed for speed, reach, and mass attention, are incompatible with luxury’s codes of mystique, scarcity, and ritual. This is a call to arms: for luxury Maisons to stop outsourcing their stories, reclaim narrative sovereignty, and build cultural ecosystems that match the same standards as their ateliers.

• “In luxury, the frame is part of the value. And Big Tech platforms are not neutral frames.”
• “Would you sell Veuve Clicquot at a gas station? Then why surrender your story to TikTok?”
• “Desirability isn’t viral. It’s curated.”
• “Luxury Maisons mastered verticality, from vineyards to boutiques, but left their stories in someone else’s hands.”
• “We don’t need more followers. We need our own stage.”
