-------

This week, we’re joined by Conrad Qulity-Harper, editor of the newsletter Dark Luxury, and formerly a writer and editor at GQ.

We talk about the dark side of the luxury industry, and the changing relationships between the luxury industry and the influencer economy, and whether luxury brands are slowly weaning themselves off promoting their products via social media. We also talk about how luxury has changed conceptually, and how global wars, tariffs and a rising cost of living has subsequently made fakes and duplicates valuable commodities. We also talk about how our styles and tastes in fashion have changed as young parents, and what kind of stuff you need to wear to the playground to mog other parents.
