The super-rich shop in a private world of luxury retail that most of us will never see or experience.
They demand privacy and discretion, so they have access to private luxury designer lounges and by-invitation-only events offering a premium shopping experience. The ultra-wealthy seek out exclusive items unavailable to the general public, spending millions annually on their preferred high-end brands and retailers.

The pandemic gave us more than just escalating luxury fashion prices. It also drove the sloth-like look of baggy sweatsuits, wide-leg pants, and oversized raglan coats. It’s no wonder that, after years of paying a premium for designer versions of the slouchy, unisex silhouette, the female waist is being celebrated again on New York’s streets.
