EXCERPT: LOUIS VUITTON. SPRING 2024 - PARIS FASHION WEEK

  

...And as the late French philosopher Albert Camus once said, "Existence is illusory and it is eternal.”  We are living in such interesting times, balanced precariously between excesses and oblivion. You may ask; Which way will it tip?  Yes, one has to be cynical and detached, yet objectively focused on all of its illusion.  And it is the later that may materialize, in a shorter time frame.

We have two major conflicts in the world that make the first Cold War pale in comparison, and overconfidence and arrogance has reached new levels after the pandemic passed, while it had killed a large portion of the human race, we have all raced back into consumption on the hopium that the new normal will return, that being pragmatic spending of the Middle Class.  All the while new cold war foe China buys up Western luxury via its maniacal stimulus programs.  What could go wrong?  Probably a lot at this point in time, yet LVMH must commit to its budgets and shareholders, thus the extremity of the over development of the new Louis Vuitton in Paris store must go on..."
