Between ostentation and sustainability – A definition in flux https://fivmagazine.com/what-does-luxury-mean-between-ostentation-and-sustainability-a-definition-in-flux/ Sun, 08 Jan 2023 13:35:53 +0000 https://fivmagazine.de/what-does-luxury-mean-between-ostentation-and-sustainability-a-definition-in-flux/ What does luxury mean? At first glance, luxury is often associated with the world of the rich and beautiful. In the past, expensive and rare goods in particular were considered a sign of money, splendor and consumption. However, the definition of luxury is subject to constant change, characterized by ideal values such as joy, freedom and happiness. The new generations, in particular, embody a new sense of luxury that focuses on a fulfilled life and eventful experiences. So what does luxury mean? Our editors set out to find out.

The meaning of luxury

When people think of the word ‘luxury’, an image of superfluous, expensive goods and services often comes to mind. For a long time, luxury was considered the ultimate sign of prosperity and a high standard of living. After all, luxury has often had an exclusive reputation in the past. For example, expensive cars, extravagant restaurants and prestigious fashion brands are still considered a sign of prosperity today. Whether it’s a Breitling watch, designer jeans or your first condominium – for many, luxury is what you don’t take for granted.

Not always a material good

Yet this does not always have to be a material good. In fact, luxury can also consist of immaterial things. A relaxing vacation, a nice experience in the morning or simply spending time with friends and family can definitely be perceived as luxurious without the need for a material background. Luxury is often about the feeling of exclusivity and specialness, regardless of whether it is a material good or not.

Differences depending on the country

The definition of luxury also varies from country to country. While in some cultures luxury is associated with swanky cars and expensive designer handbags, in other countries a simple lifestyle focused on sustainability and modesty is perceived as luxurious.

Country-specific preferences are therefore clearly discernible. In German-, Italian-, English- and Japanese-speaking countries, time spent with friends and family is seen as small luxury moments in everyday life. In Spain, the feeling of luxury is associated with expressing oneself visually and dressing as one pleases, and for the French, the word luxury brings to mind a tasty meal and a lovely wine.

This means luxury in the different countries:

  • Germany, Italy & Co: Time with friends & family
  • Spain: Self-expression and freedom
  • France: Tasty food

A definition in flux

What is luxury and what is not depends to a large extent on cultural, historical and economic factors. At the same time, the perspective on luxury is currently changing. A new standard is taking hold, characterized by a modest yet comfortable lifestyle.

So in today’s society, the importance of intangible luxuries is increasing. Many people value a healthy lifestyle, sustainability and spiritual fulfillment. So a relaxing weekend in nature, a yoga session or a good book can be perceived as luxurious experiences.

Even the little things in life count

Luxury can also mean taking time and leisure for the little things in life and being happy about them. This is not necessarily about material things, but rather about focusing your attention on the things in life that are really important. It can be about taking time to spend with those close to you, focusing on your hobbies and interests, or simply being out in nature. For many people, this is a form of luxury that is priceless and gives them more joy and satisfaction in life.

What does luxury mean to you?

Luxury is therefore a subjective concept and differs from person to person. While for some, material possessions and the associated quality of life embody the concept of luxury, for others, the focus is on enjoying the little things in life. It’s about a holistic approach where luxury also means driving positive change. In this way, consuming luxury not only means adding personal value, but also benefits the planet and people. So what does luxury mean to you?

]]> Balenciaga Videos: Fashion show, sneakers, Rihanna & Co. https://fivmagazine.com/balenciaga-videos-fashion-show-sneakers-rihanna-co/ Wed, 29 Sep 2021 03:30:08 +0000 https://fivmagazine.de/balenciaga-videos-fashion-show-sneakers-rihanna-co/ Balenciaga Videos – Balenciaga is known for its luxurious and modern women’s and men’s fashion. Among the absolute best sellers of the fashion brand are the sneaker model “Speed Trainer” and the handbag “The Neo Classic”. In this article you will get an impression of the latest fashion shows and campaigns of the brand. You can also see Rihanna in her fabulous Balenciaga outfit at the Met Gala.

Fashion shows: Autumn & Spring for men & women

The fashion shows that follow are all about technological progress and the future of fashion. Here you get a glimpse of how Balenciaga envisions the fashion of tomorrow. You can also watch the fashion show for a very special collection, the 50th Couture Collection.

Autumn: fashion show

This collection is futuristic in many ways. The idea behind it is that many fabrics and garments will serve multiple functions in the future. For example, a military jumpsuit becomes an evening dress or a blanket becomes a coat. This makes it clear that this collection is not only about style, but above all about functionality. The fashion show itself took place virtually. A select group of guests were allowed to watch the fashion show with the help of virtual reality headsets instead of attending it in person.

Spring: fashion show

This fashion show features only one model, American painter Eliza Douglas. She presents the collection with the help of computer-generated clones of herself. How clones can walk on a fashion show? The twist- It is not a real fashion show as we know and are used to, but a digital fashion show in the form of a video, organized with the help of advanced technology and special effects. “It’s a show that has never been done before. But the clothes are real. They were made,” said chief designer Demna Gvasalia.

50th Couture Collection: Fashion Show

This collection is the first couture collection since 1967 and a tribute to Cristóbal Balenciaga, the founder of the Parisian fashion house. After pret- à- porter fashion replaced couture, the Spanish designer retired. The brand was managed until 2015 by various designers who did not want to face couture. With Demna Gvasalia, the fashion house regains its former glory of the 50s and 60s. The initials C.B. were embroidered by hand on individual parts of the collection to commemorate the personal style of Balenciaga, for example, leather gloves or silk ties.

Commercials: Fall & Summer Campaigns

Besides fashion shows, there are also creative commercials to present the latest collections of Balenciaga. Here you can see the commercials for the fall collection and summer collection. These, just like the fashion shows, reflect the futuristic and technology-oriented approach of head designer Demna Gvasalia.

Fall campaign

A video game as a fashion show? The special situation of the pandemic calls for creativity! Balenciaga presents its fall collection on virtual avatars in the specially developed video game “Afterworld: The Age of Tomorrow”. The game shows a postmodern future in which you can explore the world of Balenciaga. The game’s hero walks through different virtual worlds and encounters different avatars, all dressed in pieces from the fall collection. In this video, experience the virtual mind of Demna Gvasalia and experience a fashion show in a way never seen before!

Summer collection campaign

Also for this video, the creative minds of Balenciaga have again worked at full speed and come up with something very special for this collection. In this campaign, the collection is presented by some, completely different looking mannequins. People from every ethnicity are adressed and show Balenciaga’s open world view. The mannequins look as extraordinary and eye-catching as the clothes. The highlight of the collection is definitely the iconic handbag “The Neo Classic”, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

VIPs: Rihanna at the Met Gala

Megastar and style icon Rihanna is obviously a fan of the luxury brand, because she has been photographed in Balenciaga many times. Whether street style or on the red carpet, Rihanna is a Balenciaga girl. Rihanna also chose Balenciaga for her visit to this year’s Met Gala. You can see the black outfit just incredibly well. In the video below you can watch how stylish Rihanna and her boyfriend ASAP Rocky look on their red carpet debut as a couple.

Collaboration: Gucci Aria

This is not a collaboration in the classic sense, but you can clearly see that designer Demna Gvasalia was involved. For the collection, which was created in honor of Gucci’s 100th birthday, Gucci designer Alessandro Michele was inspired by some of the pieces Demna Gvasalia designed for Balenciaga. Logo prints and the brand lettering are the flagship of this collection, also striking are the details reminiscent of equestrians, as Gucci’s history is deeply rooted in equestrian sports.

Interviews: Alexander Wang and Demna Gvasalia

Through these two interviews, you’ll get a glimpse into the life of Balenciaga’s current head designer Demna Gvasalia, as well as the workings of former head designer Alexander Wang.

Alexander Wang about Balenciaga

From 2012 to 2015, Alexander Wang was appointed as head designer of Balenciaga, succeeding designer Nicolas Ghesquière, who had made Balenciaga great again in the 2000s. In this interview, Alexander Wang talks about, among other things, why it is important to him to look at the archive of Balenciaga and be inspired by it, and what his motivations were for taking the job at Balenciaga- despite founding his own successful brand.

Demna Gvasalia: everything you need to know

Here you will get interesting and important information about head designer Demna Gvasalia in just 5 minutes. For example, that he lived in Germany for a while, studied fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, and is the co-founder of the famous street style brand Vetements.

With her unique handbags and suitcases the company did not remain unknown for long and even gained popularity with the Italian royal family. Prada’s first women’s collection was presented as early as 1989 and achieved an international breakthrough. Today, the Prada brand includes feminine, minimalist, classic and equally comfortable collections as well as leather goods, shoes and perfumes. Her creative and impressive designs even earned her the McKim Medal, which she received for her extraordinary success and performance in the fashion business.

Miuccia Prada: creative and amazing fashion icon

The Italian designer was born in Milan in 1949 and continued the family business Prada. The Prada brand was founded in 1913 and was already in the third generation of the family. Miuccia Prada, before becoming head of Prada, earned her doctorate in science and even completed a five-year acting course in Milan. But eventually she took over the family business, which initially produced mainly leather goods such as suitcases and handbags, and led it to become one of the most important luxury brands through her collections, which were characterized by simplicity and ascetic character. A cornerstone of the brand was the designer’s line of black and durable nylon handbags, which contributed to the company’s success. The first elegant women’s collection was launched in 1989, the men’s collection in 1995, and the fashion label was able to establish itself especially with its daughter label Miu Miu, which was inspired by Miuccia Prada’s private clothing. Today Prada presents its stunning collections again and again at the worldwide Fashion Weeks.

Miuccia Prada managed to create new trends with her innovative ideas and inspired many designers with her collections, because the designer can radically change her style from season to season without losing her own signature.

Classic, elegant cuts with playful details

With its new autumn and winter collection Prada shows both femininity and strength of all women. That’s why her looks consist of large eye-catching earrings, spectacular necklaces and diamond-studded clothing. Silk trousers with a simple cut and sweaters with a classic crew neck have also been seen more often. Here, the designer has again opted for a completely different style, but still shows her signature. But with outfits that are both classic and yet exciting, Prada also made a statement this season.
