EP 1: Luxury State of the Union: Why Logic is Toxic

Last week we announced the launch of The Luxury Retail Market Podcast—our new flagship audio platform exploring the global luxury industry through the lenses of strategy, leadership, and human-centered retail excellence.

In our first episode, The Luxury State of the Union: Why Logic is Toxic, we examine how the industry transitioned from crisis to recalibration between 2020 and 2025, and distill the strategic imperatives luxury leaders must prioritize to remain resilient, relevant, and competitive in 2026 and beyond.

From today’s vantage point, the years following 2020 reshaped consumer behavior, supply chains, and competitive dynamics, creating a new and more volatile equilibrium.
