Special Feature<br />

President Emmanuel Macron’s is widely<br />

regarded as the President of the rich<br />

as rising fuel prices and high cost of living<br />

has led to disproportionate burden<br />

of the government’s tax reforms, which<br />

fall on the working and middle classes<br />

in the country. This backlash against<br />

the well healed French citizens has<br />

majorly impacted luxury retail sales as<br />

the industry has seen a decline of 20<br />

percent to 40 percent in the past year.<br />

Redefining LuxuRy<br />

Luxury is no longer only defined by<br />

sparkling diamonds or flashy cars. Instead,<br />

new age millionaires prefer to<br />

live a more subdued and low-key existence.<br />

Privacy and security have become<br />

the new keywords that now define<br />

well bred individuals which makes it<br />

even more difficult for luxury brands to<br />

establish a connection with them. The<br />

rise of conscious and mindful spending<br />

on experiences rather than products<br />

has put luxury retail brands on the<br />

back foot. The diamond industry has<br />

undergone a major upheaval in the past<br />

few years as millenials are choosing to<br />

spend their hard earned money on expensive<br />

gadgets, travel and other unusual<br />

experiences rather than a piece<br />

of jewellery.<br />

digitaL deLuge<br />

For the longest time luxury brands<br />

The U.S. has the<br />

heaviest concentration<br />

of millionaires by far,<br />

with 41 per cent of the<br />

world’s millionaires or<br />

17.4 million living in the<br />

country<br />
