Approaching luxury from an alternate perspective.
Every time you ‘click here to prove you’re not a robot,’ you’re helping train AI for free. Wild how we’re doing free labor for machines now.

Pierre Bourdieu argued that ‘taste’ isn’t just personal, it’s a tool of social distinction. If luxury is about cultural capital, what does fast fashion say about our society’s obsession with speed over substance?

If we’re ever to reimagine the future, we must first look to the past. Indigenous societies around the world had systems of governance rooted in sustainability and collective well-being. What happened to that vision?

Gramsci’s ‘hegemony’ theory shows how dominant cultures aren’t just imposed—they’re consented to by the masses, absorbed through media, education, and institutions. True revolution starts with rethinking culture. #SocialChange

A Birkin bag isn’t rare when every other reality TV star has 12. Just saying.

Willie Nelson’s guitar 🎸 , “Trigger,” is more than an instrument—it’s a piece of living history. Built in 1969, it’s been repaired countless times, but its sound only deepens with age. A reminder that true value isn’t in perfection, but in the stories objects carry. #WillieNelson #Artistry #Heritage

Exclusivity in fashion is a manufactured concept to fuel consumerism. Brands claim scarcity to make you feel special, but when they mass-produce ‘limited-edition’ items, it’s no longer rare—just a clever marketing tactic. #Capitalism #TrueLuxury #Craftsmanship #LuxuryWithMeaning
