Everyone has their own obscure idea of what it is about. One thinks of Chanel, Bentley automobiles, expensive chocolate, etc. Luxury is actually defined in Webster’s dictionary as ‘something inessential but conducive to pleasure and comfort as well as something expensive or hard to obtain.’ Your designs certainly fall into this category. How do you define luxury? JS: day off of wo k, a day on the beach, kidding! I guess I think of things being a e, which o en connotes expensive in gene al. I also think ideas can have the quality of being a e. Th ee-ply cashme e is some peoples’ defi nition of luxu y, but a ity of an idea is mo e my notion of it. PORTRAITS BY ELLEN JONG Luxury is not over. People always need it, whether it’s on the pure emotional level like a nice bubble bath, or a psychological level, like the ego boost one gets from purchasing a luxury handbag.
