What do you all think of the new Valentino?

For all its narrative, it still rings hollow for me.

And, no, campaign storytelling does not equate content strategy.

Miss Tweed says she knows why people aren’t buying this Valentino update.

#LVMH’s market value is still 3 times what it was a decade ago. Rich people rarely go out of style. And, indeed, founder and chief executive Bernard Arnault has been a buyer of his company’s stock recently, bringing his family’s stake to just under 50 per cent. It’s just that in financial terms, the industry’s next couple of seasons could land with a thud.

LVMH’s reported figures don’t yet reflect much of a softening in the American market

Luxury waits for the US kitten-heeled mule to drop

> Some people follow trends; real fashionistas anticipate them. Unhappy earnings from luxury behemoth and bellwether #LVMH should therefore trouble discerning investors.

We have a flushing toilet for the first time in about 3 1/2 weeks, and a bathroom basin with running water for the first time in about a year.
It's been so long since we've had a basin with running cold water that I can't even remember how many years it's been. Two? Three? More?
Long enough to remember it's a luxury, anyway (any time at all is enough to remember a flushing toilet is a luxury), and long enough that I'll have to train myself out of rinsing my toothbrush under the bath tap.

A quotation from Joubert

It is not the desire for true riches that depraves man, but the desire for those that are false. A people never became corrupted for having grain, fruits, a pure air, better waters, more perfect arts, but for having gold, jewelry, subjects, power, a false renown, and an unjust superiority.
 
[Ce n’est pas le désir des vrais biens qui déprave l’homme, mais le désir de ceux qui sont faux. Jamais un peuple ne s’est corrompu, pour avoir du blé, des fruits, un air pur, des eaux meilleures, des arts plus parfaits, des femmes plus belles; mais pour avoir de l’or, des pierreries, des sujets, de la puissance, un faux renom et une injuste supériorité.]

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 16 “Des Mœurs publiques et privées; du Caractère des Nations [On Morality and the Character of Nations],” ¶ 39 (1850 ed.) [tr. Calvert (1866), ch. 12]
