When Labubu Beats the Birkin: Luxury in the Age of Hype


Is luxury still defined by craftsmanship and cost or has it become a game of algorithms and hype? When a drop on Instagram generates more traction than years of artisanal tradition, something fundamental has shifted. This panel unpacks the new drivers of desire in a world where culture moves faster than legacy. Has luxury lost its meaning, or simply changed its face? We ask: who’s shaping the future of luxury and what happens to the old guard when taste goes viral?

Robin Swithinbank, Journalist, author and host of The Luxury Society Podcast
George Bamford, Founder, Bamford Watch Department
Misha Daud, Harpers Bazaar Arabia watch & jewellery columnist and Founder, @Watchfashionista
