The luxury industry is in a state of slowdown: earnings amongst many leading brands in 2024 showcased a pattern of stagnation or deceleration, with leading conglomerates pointing to a myriad of lingering global macroeconomic and sociopolitical disruptors.  

Amidst the caution, there are glimmers of hope and room for creative ignition. Many businesses have remained buoyant, and even seen growth, in face of adverse market conditions. But what’s the secret in maintaining – and accelerating – desirability with today’s ever captious consumer?  

For our premiere group-wide Whitepaper, the sixteen partners that make up The Independents come together to decipher what luxury must do to reset and reinvigorate for 2025 and beyond, backed by unique consumer data. 

We uncover the new drivers shaping luxury consumers’ behaviours, showcasing people are spending more selectively, placing greater value on enriching objects which demonstrate creative excellence, potential for persistence, and boast a rich history. They are discovering these through informed dialogues between people and brands and carefully study those who create via long-form content. The world of celebrity culture is shifting, prioritising micro influencers who have honed in on their niche expertise, and are multi-hyphenate makers that add to our creative discourse. This means people also expect more from the spaces in which they discover and engage with brands, placing greater value on experiences over and seeking an all-important emotional connection. And there’s more.

Fashion Month is thriving on social media, with SS25 Fashion Weeks seeing a 16% year-on-year growth, achieving a record $840 million in Earned Media Value (EMV). This season, the "less is more" approach emerged as a pivotal strategy for brands. While fewer profiles posted fashion week content, those who did saw increased engagement and visibility. This suggests that the content creators who contributed were more influential and relevant, resulting in a greater impact.

As a result, influence and celebrity continue to play a significant role, with the devoted fandoms of stars driving substantial media value around their idols' names. Storytelling emerged as a crucial element, both in the format of shows and in the talents brands partnered with—ranging from athletes who captivated audiences during the Olympics to cultural leaders shaping today's zeitgeist. And there's more to come.
