Quiet Luxury: Taste, or Just Money Hiding?

Why do the most expensive things often have no logo at all? 🤔

In this episode of Fromtheshelf, I'm talking all about quiet luxury, the trend where people show status through fabric, fit and quality instead of big logos.

I get into why quiet luxury keeps coming back, the theory behind it (hello Veblen and Bourdieu 👋), and the question I can't stop thinking about: is quiet luxury actually anti-consumerist, or is it just harder to spot?

I also follow the look all the way down the luxury pyramid, from supreme luxury to masstige, and talk about what cheaper brands can copy, and what they just can't fake.
