For this 20th Edition of "Summit of Luxury & Creation" (Sommet Du Luxe et de la Création), the Theme was "What are the benchmarks and values that shape the Soul of Luxury today?"...While Analysts agree on the Growth Prospects of the Luxury Economy, the 20th Luxury and Creation Summit was questioning on June 15 the Benchmarks and Values that shape the Soul of Luxury today...

If the Relationship to Luxury evolves, the Attachment to the Object, in a Society in Search of Meaning and Ethics, in the Years to come be even more Closely Linked to the Extra soul that emerges from it?

Let us remember that the Soul which can have a Different Meaning depending on the Culture or the Territory, is the Vital and Spiritual Principle of a Transcendental Nature which animates the Body of a Living Being and by Extension, All Creation.

Under what Conditions, then, will the Luxury that is embodied in Cult Objects, Immemorial Know-How, Excellence and Beauty, succeed in Perpetuating the Soul that has been animating for Centuries?

Doesn't Luxury in its Diversity risk becoming a Succession of Ephemeral Emotions and Gugitive Experiences which attenuate its Force of Attraction... or does it possess a Dynamic, a Breath which gives it the Strength to transmit and innovate?

In a Word, what is happening to the Soul of Luxury today? And of its Vital Principles?

Finally, this Subject which was suggested by Several Creators, help to address Very Concrete Subjects which impact the Development and Communication Strategy of the Workshops as well as the Luxury Companies, even the Start-Ups which are at the Heart of the Innovations of the Luxury Made in France...
