What is Luxury?

Gentle Reader -

Just as fashion has been freed of the strict code of social ordering (OK, 90% free), it has also almost free notions of luxury.

For those old enough to remember, luxury had nothing to do with brands and logos. However clouded by romantic notions of authenticity (one of the more fraudulent concepts ever conjured), luxury is now simply the best of the moment.

There are those for whom luxury is represented by Hermès.
And there are those for whom, inspired by Imperial China, luxury is the sound of crickets at night.

Allow yourself to determine what is luxury in your own world.
